A collection of decorative ceramics and glassware featuring various styles and forms. The group includes a trio of graduated porcelain jugs, each decorated with a hand-painted tropical landscape featuring a hut and palm trees against a blue and black ground, finished with gilded rims and scrolling foliate accents. Also present is a majolica style earthenware display plate with a scalloped caramel-coloured border, featuring high-relief decorations of three lemons on a branch with green leaves. The assortment includes a shallow ceramic plate with a transfer print of two foxes, a small hand-painted figurine of a traveller in a brown hat, and a square green glazed earthenware dish with a crystalline finish and a central circular well. Two white milk glass or ceramic pedestal bowls are included; one features a flared, ribbed body and the other a rounded, fluted rim. The interior rim of the larger white bowl bears a handwritten ink code reading C286W. Completing the lot are a black glazed ceramic cat figurine with illegible incised marks near the base, a rectangular earthenware slab vase depicting a primitive landscape, a multi-coloured striped espresso cup and saucer, a carved stone ashtray, a small owl figurine, and three teacups and saucers with bear motifs.
Condition report:
The majolica style lemon plate has a significant chip on the tip of the leftmost green leaf (photo 1). The larger white pedestal bowl shows a dark mark or possible hairline fracture on the interior rim near the handwritten code (photo 1). The graduated jugs exhibit some minor loss to the gilded accents (photo 3). General surface wear, fine crazing to glazes, and minor surface marks are visible across several items in the collection, consistent with age.
