A collection of two porcelain table lamps, a porcelain vase, and a buddha figurine. The first lamp features a porcelain body with a green-grey lattice pattern and gilded borders, decorated with polychrome floral sprays in pink, blue, and yellow. It is fitted with a brass-coloured B22 bayonet bulb holder and a brown electrical cord with a standard UK three-pin plug. A silver adhesive label on the bulb holder reads MAX 60W. The second lamp, converted from a ginger jar, features a black ground decorated with longevity peaches in shades of pink and blue with green foliage and white blossoms. It is finished with blue Greek key borders and fitted with a white plastic bulb holder and cord with a standard UK three-pin plug. The large porcelain vase is of baluster form with a textured sgraffito pink ground and scrolling floral motifs. It features two white ground panels, one depicting the Sanxing figures in a garden and the other containing black Chinese calligraphic script. The vase sits on a dark stained carved wooden stand and bears a red square seal mark to the base, the characters of which are not clearly legible. The buddha figurine is constructed from a cast composite material with a distressed silver-tone finish, depicted in a seated lotus position with hands in mudra gestures. The underside of the figurine is covered in black felt.
