Vintage Dewhurst’s Sylko Thread Spool Ceramic Storage Jar – Hobbs Welch Design 1980

This is a delightful vintage ceramic storage jar in the form of a giant cotton reel, decorated with the iconic Dewhurst’s Sylko “Three Shells” Machine Twist 40 label. Produced in 1980 by Hobbs Welch Design under licence from the English Sewing Co., the jar lifts apart into three ceramic compartments, making it both decorative and practical. The hand-painted style finish in blue and cream is complemented by bold retro branding on the lid, creating a striking display piece as well as useful storage for sewing notions, buttons, threads or trinkets. A perfect addition for collectors of vintage haberdashery and sewing memorabilia, or as a quirky decorative item for any sewing room, studio or display shelf. The base is marked “A Hobbs Welch Design, Made under licence from English Sewing Co. Ltd ©1980”.
