Buyer's Premium:

An assortment of 20th-century decorative items and collectables. The collection features a large polychrome ceramic model of a tigress and her cub drinking from a pool, alongside a porcelain figure of a Japanese Geisha in a pink and blue kimono holding a fan. A ceramic musical decanter is modelled as a Yeoman of the Guard holding a bottle, with a title and musical notation printed to the base. Also present is a dark brown glazed ceramic novelty owl figurine holding a tankard, bearing a humorous inscription to the base. Decorative tableware includes a small ceramic dish shaped like a painter’s palette with seven colourful circular insets and a three-lobed porcelain dish with a central loop handle, featuring gilt floral patterns and a red heraldic crest. The group contains two translucent oriental-style resin figures on black bases in green and orange, a pair of theatrical ceramic wall masks with glitter-embellished eyes, and two ships in bottles of different scales, including one in a bottle with a green screw cap. Two large cream pillar candles with Art Nouveau-style female illustrations, one bearing a handwritten adhesive tag marked 2J795R, and a small patterned sphere on a stand complete the assortment.
