A collection of decorative pottery and glass objects. The group features a large stoneware serving dish with a wide, unglazed terracotta rim and an oatmeal-glazed centre decorated with a shoal of six blue and brown stylised fish. The underside of the dish is impressed with two circular marks: one containing a vertical line intersected by a cross and the other containing a character resembling the number ‘2’, alongside a painted black mark resembling a bird’s foot. The lot includes a terracotta tripod vessel supported by two human figures with incised geometric details and a weathered, earthy finish. Also present is a trio of bird figurines, comprising a larger goose and two smaller ducks, made from a textured stone-like material with smooth beaks and black felted bases; each base carries a small gold oval adhesive label reading ‘MADE IN CHINA’. Completing the collection is a clear glass orb-shaped terrarium with a spout-like top and a wide side aperture, containing dried moss, soil, and organic matter.
