Lot 26: A Collection of Victorian Woodenware, Copper Lustre Pottery, and Jasperware Decorative Objects
A group of assorted antique and vintage decorative items. The collection features a Victorian-style walnut or stained wood workbox of rectangular form, the hinged lid opening to reveal two internal swing-out cantilevered compartments. The interior is lined with a green velvet-pile fabric. The exterior is decorated with dark metal foliate-motif escutcheons and plaques, including a keyhole to the front and a decorative plaque to the lid. The lid interior contains a small integrated wooden box with a metal escutcheon. A rectangular orange adhesive label on the lid reads 26.
Ceramic items include a group of light blue jasperware featuring white sprigged neoclassical bas-relief decoration: a circular lidded trinket box with a central figure and floral borders, and an oval lidded dish with a matching stand depicting a horse-drawn chariot scene. The collection further includes three copper-lustre glazed mugs and a matching small pitcher, each decorated with a central blue band featuring polychrome transfer-printed pastoral scenes of figures in a landscape. Also present is a large earthenware teacup and saucer decorated with an orange, blue, and green floral transfer pattern, a small ceramic figurine of a sheep with a textured coat and an orange adhesive label reading 26, and a ceramic figure of a reclining spaniel resting within a brown basket. The wooden box interior shows two small loose wooden blocks.
