Lot 53: A Trio of Vintage Decorative Ceramics Including a Pershore Abbey Commemorative Mug and a Figural Rabbit Biscuit Barrel
This lot consists of three earthenware items of British domestic pottery. The first is a large figural biscuit barrel modelled as a seated rabbit with a removable head serving as the lid. It is finished in a mottled brown glaze and features the word BISCUITS in relief-moulded lettering on the reverse. The second item is a commemorative tankard of tapering form, finished in a honey-brown glaze. It bears the relief-moulded inscription Pershore Abbey Millenary 972-1972 along with geometric border patterns. The third item is a novelty teapot and lid in the cottage-ware style, depicting a traditional thatched dwelling with painted timber and window details. All items are constructed from glazed earthenware.
