  • My father is a clumsy man and just smashed a milk jug beloved by my mother, given to her by my grandfather when he was the accountant for a hotel supply company. It was made by Dunn and Bennett for the Mackworth Hotel chain in South Wales in the 1930's.

    I found a cached image on Google for one from the same run, along with a tea pot, that sold on ebay.

    From the link text I can see the the listing title was 'Mackworth hotel Swansea Neath teapot and milk jug' but the link is now dead.

    I can't (at least on eBay mobile app, don't have access to a PC atm) find a completed listing for this. My aim was to ask the seller who they'd sold it to, if anyone, to try and persuade them to sell it to me.

    There are a few other similar jugs on ebay but nothing the same. How can I find the completed listing details or (ideally) just another jug?

    Would be more than happy to give a finders fee for this if anyone actually finds one, as it means a great deal to my dear mother.

  • Make contact with as many Welsh antique shops as you can find. There might be one on a shelf somewhere. The eBay stalking might be percieved as a bit weird.
