Lot 397: A Collection of Decorative Ceramic and Metal Household Items
A varied assortment of late 20th-century decorative household goods. The collection includes a large cylindrical storage canister in cream-glazed earthenware with relief-moulded interlacing Celtic-style knotwork to the body and a matching domed lid with a central knob finial. Included is a novelty glazed earthenware cookie jar modelled as a jack-o’-lantern pumpkin with a lid in the form of a green witch’s hat featuring orange and blue accents and hand-painted facial features. The lot further comprises a pair of chrome-plated wall sconces with conical metal shades, finished with a dark green exterior featuring a gold-toned trellis pattern and a pale blue interior. Also present is a tall, slender cylindrical earthenware vase decorated with a dark brown vertical drip glaze over a white ground. None of the items bear visible manufacturer’s marks. All items are marked with various adhesive labels including the lot number 19 and price stickers.
