An assortment of decorative glassware and regional English art pottery. The collection includes a blue-glazed Watcombe Torquay pottery bowl, hand-painted with a bird perched on a branch to the interior and bearing the hand-painted inscription Master Bakers, Confectioners & Caterers to the rim. The base features the stamped mark Watcombe, Torquay, England. Also included is a green carnival glass bowl by the Fenton Art Glass Company, featuring an iridescent marigold-on-green finish with the Peacock and Grapes pattern to the interior and the Beaded Berry pattern to the exterior. A large cut crystal bowl is included, featuring a deep circular form with intricate geometric star and diamond cut patterns to the base and fan-cut motifs rising towards a scalloped and serrated rim. The collection also features an art glass basket vase with a deep amethyst interior cased in clear glass with red-trailed lines, an applied clear glass handle with textured rigaree decoration, and four pulled feet. A spherical glass paperweight with a central multi-coloured frit inclusion in a conical form completes the group.
Condition report:
The items are generally in good condition. The Watcombe bowl shows typical light surface wear and minor glaze imperfections consistent with age. The Fenton carnival glass bowl retains a strong iridescent lustre with no visible chips or cracks. The large cut glass bowl shows high clarity, though there are occasional small flea-bite chips to the sharp edges of the serrated rim and minor surface residue. The art glass basket and paperweight appear to be in good order with no significant damage observed.
