The only Rum Pot in New Zealand?

What is Rum Pot? It's the Easiest Way to Preserve Fresh Fruit - see www.eater.com... for more info.

What is Rum Pot? It's the Easiest Way to Preserve Fresh Fruit - see www.eater.com... for more info.

I couldn't find a single Rum Pot on Trademe or FBM, but Rum Pot is VERY popular in Germany (my parents loved putting some on ice cream for desert), and the pot comes with a leaflet about the history (pictured) as well as recipes on how to make proper Rum Pot (buyer's eyes only).

So why not surprise your guests with something they most likely don't know?

It's not mass produced but made by Mayfire Pottery, a small but quite exquisite pottery in Gisborne - judging by this Rum Pot they do excellent work, so that could also be a good investment for the future (please don't break it - it's by far the prettiest rum pot I've seen).

Pickup in Green Bay (we live opposite Green Bay High School) preferred though it is possible to send if buyer pays p&p, or if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.

As I work from home anyway I'm home pretty much all the time, so just let me know a time you would like to come round.

I have a whole household and shed to clear - so please have a look at my other listings too!

Can we sell a few buses to Christchurch who need them

Clive from Green Bay

We have too many large buses in Auckland with few drivers. We could sell some onto Christchurch which would give the AT the funds to purchase some mini 6/8 seater buses for running in the suburbs.
These micro buses could be electric with a slot beside the driver for a wheel chair and do not … View more

Gorgeous Vintage Wooden Towel Rack

Markus from Green Bay

Whether you are one of the lucky ones living in an authentic 1920s villa with hardwood floors and want that authentic ambience (and I really hope it gets back to where it should be), or want to smarten up your guest room or a bath room for AirBnB - you need the right accessories.

Well, here is your chance to get a gorgeous wooden towel rack for it - so much more stylish than what you get nowadays..

I didn’t even clean it beyond a slight wipe (I know better than to “clean” items to death) but I can tell you that the pictures don’t really do it justice - you kind of expect Poirot to come round the corner at any moment now …

The measurements are:

78 cm (wide) x 90 cm (high) x 17 cm (deep) / 33 cm (feet) with 5 rungs for hanging towels
