Lot 49: An Assortment of 19th and 20th-Century Ceramics, Glassware, and Decorative Objects
This lot comprises an assortment of miscellaneous 19th and 20th-century decorative items. It includes a large, shallow porcelain or fine earthenware bowl with a lobed and scalloped rim, possibly by Spode or Copeland, featuring an extensive blue transfer-printed floral pattern, possibly clematis, with a dense scrolling geometric border and a gilt-highlighted rim. Also included is a porcelain teapot of globular form with a short spout and a bentwood bamboo overhead handle, decorated in an Oriental style with dragons and foliate motifs in iron-red enamel and a gilt rim. A small porcelain pedestal cream jug with a scrolling handle is decorated with floral sprays and a gilt-lined rim. The collection contains a porcelain baluster-shaped vase with a flared, scalloped rim, decorated in an Oriental taste with blue hand-painted bird and floral motifs accented with gold. There are two hand-modelled ceramic floral clusters featuring blossoms in various coloured glazes, characteristic of mid-20th-century English bone china factories such as Royal Adderley or Coalport. Glassware is represented by a small trumpet-shaped vase in light blue glass with a ruffled rim. Miscellaneous items include a small black lacquered box with painted floral decoration and a wooden expandable book rack.
