Lot 3: A Collection of Ironstone Tea Wares in the Mandalay Pattern Attributed to Mason's
A collection of ironstone ceramics decorated in the Mandalay pattern, attributed to Mason’s. The items feature traditional English Imari style decoration with underglaze cobalt blue borders and overglaze iron-red, pink, and yellow floral motifs. The designs are further enhanced with elaborate gilded highlights. The collection comprises a teapot with a domed lid and a scrolling handle, which rests on a shaped rectangular stand with scalloped edges. Also included are a cream jug and an open sugar bowl, both situated on a matching shaped rectangular tray. The decoration appears to be achieved through a combination of transfer-printing and hand-painted enamel details. The items currently bear orange and white auction labels.
Condition report:
The pieces appear to be in good overall condition. There is minor wear to the gilding on the rims and handles, which is consistent with the age of the pieces. No chips, cracks, or visible repairs are evident from the photograph.
