Mauchline Floral White Ware J & P Coats 4 Section Spool Compartments & 4 Thimble

Description

I have the honor and privilege of selling the collection of an avid and discerning collector of Mauchline Ware consisting of transfer, checker, Parian and tartan ware with a smattering of a few other finishes. I will be listing them in bite size batches over the next several months so that over time collectors can absorb the depth and breadth of the collection. This gentleman amassed an amazing collection of pieces, some of which I have never seen before and I have seen many collectors' collections over the years. This round floral white ware spool box has four compartments for thread and one in the middle for a thimble. The lid has a lovely bouquet of roses and the inside of the lid has advertising for J & P Coats Best Six Cord Spool Cotton. The inside bottom is partially covered in newspaper in a language I cannot make out. The bottom of the piece has a Made In Scotland stamp that can be faintly made out. The piece measures 2" tall and is 4" in diameter. It is in overall excellent condition, with no apparent damage or flaws. But please look at the pictures to determine the overall condition. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS ITEM AND DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM PLEASE MAKE ME AWARE OF THAT BEFORE BIDDING WHEN I AM STILL ABLE TO OPT OUT. White spots, if any, are camera glare.  Successful buyer is responsible for shipping and insurance and payment must be received within ten (10) business days of the close of the auction or the sale may be voided. Thanks for your interest and good luck!
