An assortment of mid-to-late 20th-century ceramics comprising various kitchenware and decorative pieces. The lot features a collection of relief-molded earthenware in a mushroom-themed design, characterised by textured vertical ribbing and hand-painted motifs in autumnal shades of orange, yellow, and brown. This group includes graduated lidded canisters, a napkin holder with a ladybird detail, and a wall clock marked JAPAN to the lower face. Accompanying these are three large earthenware vessels decorated with broad hand-painted bands of vibrant lime green and orange, consisting of a twin-handled lidded tureen, an oval serving platter, and a tall cylindrical planter with a three-tone colour gradient. The lot is further complemented by a trio of glazed ceramic display letters in green, red, and blue, a small ceramic pot in the form of a mushroom cottage, and several terracotta and ceramic miniatures including a miniature jar with a checked lid and a sack-shaped vessel.
