Thought I'd kick off this forum.
Hav'nt found much good advertising lately, BUT absolutely chuffed with these Surrey items picked up from the car boot last weekend.
Anybody out there tell me what they are ?

Hi Alex
No, not key fobs
About 1.5 to 2 inches tall
Look like old pendants to me
Ah ! one point to the Canny Yorkshireman, Well done Steve !
But what makes them a little special ? & furthermore definitely Surrey items ?
Anybody heard of George Frederick Watts he was part of the Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood. He had a studio at Compton, nr Guildford Surrey. When he died his wife formed The ' Compton Art Potters Guild ' in 1899 where they made Arts and Crafts items. These 4 items are pottery pendants about 2 inches tall made in about 1905 - 1915. Well chuffed as I collect Ashtead & Compton Pottery items - both from Surrey. Lummox
Hi, definately Compton pendants, she produced many designs throughout production at the factory, they basically where fired in kiln fillers between larger vases etc, to make good use of resources and makes economical sense...Liberty & Co sold many designs in series up to about 1920. Gaz
