Another day, another Antiques Fair by Louise R.

At short notice (the night before!) we decided to go to a new antiques fair taking place in Newbury, in Berkshire.
Run by the same people as the big fairs at Ardingly and Newark this one is smaller, situated at the racecourse with lovely views across country.
Most of the stalls are outside and somehow seem more interesting, more piles of stuff to rummage happily through rather than the immaculately displayed indoor ones. The prices seem more interesting too!
Not the best fair I've ever been to, but with many familiar faces among the dealers and reasonable prices, a pleasant day out.

I really didn't expect to find much but to my surprise came across, first, an old Nevers pichet (with a chip on the rim) marked AM.

Then, an old Malicorne pichet, undamaged but unmarked, along with a 20's Henriot coffee bowl (yet another one!)

Good prices so couldn't resist them!

Lovely weather yet again, it’s been a good summer, but we do need some rain.
