An assortment of decorative and commemorative ceramic plates alongside a piece of pressed glassware. The collection features a group of maritime themed plates decorated with transfer-printed scenes of three-masted sailing vessels after the maritime artist John Stobart, whose printed signature is visible within the artwork. These plates are finished with a wide navy blue border embellished with a cream-coloured knotted rope-twist motif. Commemorative items include a fine china plate for the 2002 Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, featuring orange rose borders and central portraits of the monarch. Also included is a plate commemorating the 1986 wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson at Westminster Abbey, and a portrait plate of Queen Elizabeth II in ceremonial dress. A group of earthenware plates with a red transfer-printed rural landscape design depicting a thatched cottage is present. The glassware consists of a clear circular pressed glass divided serving dish, partitioned into sections with a central well and decorated with a repeating sunburst and floral pattern to the base.
