Lot 53: Six Decorative Ceramic and Porcelain Figurines and Spill Vases
A collection of six decorative ceramic and porcelain items, including figurines and spill vases in various European styles such as Rococo-revival and Art Nouveau. The lot features a large polychrome porcelain spill vase with elaborate scrollwork and a seated figure in 18th-century style dress, and a smaller companion spill vase with applied floral decoration in the style of Capodimonte. Also included is a figural candlestick holder with hand-painted floral accents, and a large cream-glazed figurine depicting a lady in a voluminous dress standing beside a flared, shell-shaped vessel, reminiscent of German Art Nouveau bisque ware from the early 20th century. The collection is further comprised of a small white glazed figurine of a seated cherub in the style of Camille Naudot and a small polychrome character figure wearing green garments and a wide-brimmed pink hat. The items are constructed from glazed porcelain and ceramic with various hand-painted and applied details. No factory or maker marks are visible from the provided perspective, though the styles are consistent with late 19th and early 20th-century German and English manufacturers.
Condition report:
The items show signs of age and use, including visible surface dirt and internal staining to the vessels. Due to the delicate nature of the applied floral and scrollwork elements, minor chips and losses are to be expected upon closer inspection. Potential bidders are advised to inspect for small losses to extremities. No major structural repairs are evident from the overhead perspective.
