A varied collection of decorative and functional household items, primarily dating from the 20th century. The group features a three-piece silver-plated tea service in a floral pattern, comprising a teapot, a lidded sugar bowl, and a cream jug, all set on ornate cast feet with scrolling handles and floral finials. The metalware selection also includes several silver-plated goblets, a butterfly-shaped cast metal trivet, and various small trays.
The glassware includes a clear glass decanter with a faceted stopper, several cut-glass dishes with geometric patterns, and a pink art glass bowl with trapped air bubbles.
Souvenir items are well-represented, including several pieces of British crested heraldic china from Plymouth and the City of Cardiff, the former bearing the motto Turris Fortissima Est Nomen Jehovah. Flatware includes various souvenir spoons, notably a cased example marked Rolex Bucherer Lucerne and another featuring a Mallorca crest, along with sugar tongs and assorted forks. Other items include a small decorative box depicting San Francisco Golden Gate.
