This lot comprises an assortment of decorative objects and animal-themed wares. Included is a Summer Maiden figurine by Past Times, constructed from resin with a patinated bronze-effect finish. The figure is depicted reclining in an Art Nouveau style, wearing a flower crown and holding a posy. The base is impressed with the Past Times mark and retains original paper labels. The collection features several elephant-themed pieces, including a glazed ceramic decanter modeled as a baby elephant on a circus pedestal with a natural cork stopper, a minimalist beige glazed ceramic elephant-shaped teapot with a matching lid, and a small footed ceramic vessel with elephant-head handles featuring a red medallion with a white silhouetted dancer and gilded highlights. Also present is a pair of interlocking stylized elephant figures with a painted decorative finish in earthy tones. The lot is completed by a polished marbled stone abstract sculpture with prominent pink and red veining on an integral base, and a weathered stone architectural-style fragment with a grid-patterned surface and a pointed projection.

The elephant-handled vessel shows some typical wear to the gilded rims. The elephant figures exhibit minor scuffing and wear to the painted finish, particularly on the edges. The stone architectural fragment shows significant surface weathering, pitting, and some visible hairline cracks consistent with its material and style.
