A varied collection of decorative items and ceramics, featuring an earthenware part dinner service in the Lynton Brown pattern, decorated with multi-colour floral transfer-prints and a distinctive brown stippled border. The service includes several components such as two twin-handled lidded vegetable tureens with matching underplates, a large sauce boat, a cream jug, and a graduated stack of plates and shallow bowls. The lot also contains a pair of porcelain table lamps of baluster form, decorated in the Chinese Famille Rose style with alternating reserve panels of courtly figures and birds amongst foliage, each mounted on a turned wood base. Further items include an assortment of commemorative and souvenir mugs, notably a 1953 Coronation mug and an automotive interest mug featuring an early Austin motor car; several cut glass and pressed glass decanters of various forms; a character jug depicting a gentleman in 18th-century costume; a group of elephant figurines in mixed materials including wood and composite; and a selection of metalware including a fleur-de-lis letter opener, vintage nutcrackers, and silver-plated flatware.
Condition report:
The ceramics generally appear in fair to good condition, showing typical fine crazing to the glaze and minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The table lamps are sold as decorative objects only; the electrical wiring is present but untested and may require professional rewiring. Mugs show minor rubbing to the gilt highlights. Glassware and smaller collectable figurines exhibit general signs of wear from storage and display, but no significant damage is visible.
