Admiral Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Stupid bidders Alan, not worth bidding for at all. I must admit that one was a strange ebay item.. Nice old look but anything more than 35 quid seems mad, maybe I am missing something with that can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChimneyChain Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 What about this one http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251949861044 Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek R. Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 It's a miniature at 7" tall. Nice roses though. Looks like a practiced hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_fincher Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 It's a miniature at 7" tall. Nice roses though. Looks like a practiced hand. Yep, a "toy" one! Although I know it is sometimes suggested these were used to decant smaller quantities of water for use inside. I have to admit though, that in all the reading I have ever done, I can't ever recall an actual reference to that happening in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckbyLocks Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 "Although I know it is sometimes suggested these were used to decant smaller quantities of water for use inside." We used a 9" can for just that purpose for the 25 years that we boated with a motor, but of course we weren't boaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know who the painter is but have seen it before, they did sell painted ones themselves to stores like Harrods at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave moore Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 The painter is Flo Fleming, I think.....active in the 70s/80s. No idea what is happening now with her.... Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray T Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Just obtained a miniature stool, measures 9.5" tall X 10.5" across X 9" deep. It has an opening lid. As it is in this thread, any idea of painter please? I know the boating family it came from so I know its heritage. DSCF2175 DSCF2174 DSCF2173 Thank you.

Ray T Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Is the stool that bad that no one wants to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave moore Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Not at all, Ray, but it's not always straightforward to identify the work of, I assume, a boatman painter. Personally, I've no idea who painted it, you do, I suspect. Don't take the Humph! Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a very simple style of roses verging on the naïve. But very bold, confident and consistent so a very practiced hand. No idea who it is.

MtB Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ok, while we are at it, can anyone identify the author of this rather lovely paintwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Jess Owen of Charity Dock. Perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Hogg Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Jess Owen of Charity Dock. Perhaps. Be happy to be proved wrong but I don't remember Jess doing any "Knobstick" style roses, the castle too certainly seems not to be in his style. I have some good pictures of his work but the site wont accept pics atm. Edited May 21, 2015 by Laurence Hogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 The castle style seems to me especially distinctive, and accomplished. so most likely to be the best identifying aspect of the work. I bought it in a chandlery on the Wey Navigation, in case that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not able to help with any identifying. Jacq maybe a photo of the roses would help someone to ID the painter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Dunkley Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Can anyone identify the painter of this? I don't think that's by any recognized boat painter, the roses look like transfers, same sort that B&MCCCo. had on their boats in the 60's.

Nightwatch Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just ever so slightly off topic Why do some reply panels allow direct links to attach photos and the like? Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave moore Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm fairly certain that they are transfers, identical, as Tony says, to the ones produced by Alan Picken of Waterfolk in the 60s and 70s. I don't know who was responsible for the original designs but I recall that they stirred controversy even then. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
