Witch Collection

Click on the pics for a better look. I have a cabinet in my kitchen which holds much of my Royal Doulton witch collection. These pieces are all very rare. It has taken me over 20 years to collect them. This pattern was retired in the early 1900's and was mostly distributed in England and Australia. The pitcher in the middle of the shelf is 18 inches high. It is the only one I have ever seen. Most pieces show a witch standing over a cauldron dropping in ingredients.


A very rare set of Westmoreland witch balls. They have a hole in the center on their tops to collect bad energy.


I have spirit bells hanging on all of my doors. They detect the slightest motion in the room and you can hear them jingle when no one is present. The top one in this pic has purple amethyst stones embedded in it. The bottom one is shaped like a broom.


I have them in silver and gold.



This is how they hang on the doors.


This is a Celtic radiator cover I designed a long time ago. It depicts a lion battling a horse. This weighs hundreds of pounds.


I also have an extensive collection of witch trophies. Some of these are from Salem and many were rewarded for the best costume at early 1900 costumes balls.

What an amazing collection!! Wow, thanks for sharing them with us. I really love the spirit bells. Sounds like something cool to have....and likely my cats will think the same :D

Cheers!
Very cute!! Have I mentioned how excited I am to see your posts during Halloween? :) ♥
Just out of curiosity, do you do your own dusting? Must be a full time job, what with all your collections on display!

Great collection. I love all these kind of items. They are very hard to come by here in The Netherlands. We don't have a lot of these things here.
Awesome collection! Things I never imagined existed!

Thanks for sharing.

Happy Day and xoxo to "Teddy Familiar".

Nice collection! I think there should be "witch trophies" that go to those who make great achievments in the Craft not for a costume...maybe they do nowadays?
what a great collection....

love that witch vase....

and the trophies too....

but what about the coffee cups on the sidebar....i am really loving those.....
Beautiful items. I love the spirit bells - haven't heard of them before.
You never stops amazing me with Your things! That pitcher is fantastic!
I´ve never heard of spirit bells before, they are beautiful.

I´ve always wondered about radiator covers. Don´t they stop the heat from the radiators? Or do they actually help spreading it by getting warm themselves? I do like the design of Yours! Have You ever thought of working as a designer or do You already do that?

Have a great day now!

This just proves it!
Everything you do and own is enchanting!
I think I would like some spirit bells...but I have a BIG jingle bell on the back door and my little "Louie" plays with it non-stop, so I might not be able to handle anymore "jingles" LOL!

Those spirit bells are absolutely beautiful. Of course, everything in your collection is amazing. I'm impressed with the dedication it has taken to collect these items.

What an interesting lot of items you have in your collection. Love the radiator cover you designed. I had a hard time finding the horse though? Is it me? It's very lovely. The spirit bells are very cool. Witch balls and witch trophies...who knew? What made you start collecting witch items?
