A collection of ceramic tableware, decorative items, and reference books. The ceramic assortment includes a set of mugs and saucers decorated with an earth-toned geometric diamond pattern, a set of white ceramic mugs featuring floral transfer-print motifs, and several teacups and saucers with polychrome pastoral cottage scenes. The lot further comprises a hammered white-metal style ice bucket featuring a brown leather-wrapped handle, a square ceramic-tiled pot stand with an orange mottled glaze set into a black metal scrollwork base, and a two-tier wirework dessert stand. Also included is a decorative sculpture or handle formed as a gnarled grapevine with applied purple grape clusters and green foliage, and a small arched wooden-framed mirror. The collection is accompanied by a group of hardcover reference books including multiple editions of Miller’s Antiques Price Guide (1986 and 1993), Antiques Detective, and The Great Antique Treasure Hunt.
