Afternoon My father has owned a lovely Nectar Tea sign for the last 30 years, I recently found him a damaged double sided Mazawatee Tea leaf which he has restored one side of brilliantly what is the general thinking with regard restoration? I am also seeking additional information re; Nectar Tea crockery ie Teapots ( I have two different ones) cup saucer and milk jugs does anyone know anything about them?

Hi Simon

A helluva lot of signs have little bits of restoration, most collectors don't mind especially if well done. Show us the pics.

There are a few Nectar teapots etc made for advertising as well as spoon for example Coopers which you mention in another post. Lots of little advertising bits were made mainly from the late victorian period through to the 1930's - often known as ' go withs @

Hi Simon 
I think most collectors would agree that a bit of restoration is acceptable , especially on the scarcer signs like the Mazawattee Leaf . 

Do you have a before picture or a picture of the other side ..

I have this Nectar Teapot set . These are not that uncommon , but often turn up without the Saucer ..

Like to see a picture of the other one you have.
