A collection of decorative elephant figurines and novelties in ceramic, cloisonné, metal, and wood. The group comprises a broad variety of ornaments and household items in diverse styles and materials. Notable pieces include a cloisonné enamel teapot decorated with floral sprigs on a brown ground, featuring a lid with a frog-form finial. A silver-toned metal elephant head figurine acts as a holder for several cocktail picks, each topped with a miniature elephant. The lot also contains a multi-coloured interlocking wooden elephant puzzle. The ceramic assortment includes a large striding figure with a mottled green glaze, a dark brown glazed teapot with an upturned trunk, and an anthropomorphic porcelain elephant wearing a green jacket and red waistcoat. Further items include a white elephant figure carrying a teddy bear on a wheeled base, and numerous small novelty figurines in blue, grey, and brown glazes. Two recumbent figures appear to be moulded from a resin or wax material. No manufacturer’s names or marks are legible on the items.
