A collection of assorted antique and vintage door finger plates in ceramic, glass, and metal, accompanied by a cast iron trivet. The group includes several white glazed porcelain or ceramic plates featuring shaped ends and pre-drilled holes for mounting. Two plates are constructed from clear glass with beveled edges and pointed terminals. The metal components of the lot include a rectangular red plate featuring the word PUSH in white uppercase serif block letters, two rectangular brass or bronze plates, and one decorative plate with a scrolled edge showing heavy green verdigris. Also included is a cast iron lattice-top trivet or stand supported by four legs. The ceramic and glass examples are typical of late Victorian and early 20th-century British architectural ironmongery. No maker marks are visible on the face of the items.
