Lot 67: An Assortment of Ceramic Tableware and Decorative Plates featuring an Art Deco Dish in the Orange Tree Pattern
This assortment consists of various ceramic items, primarily decorative plates and dishes from the late 19th and 20th centuries. A prominent piece is a square earthenware dish with clipped corners, featuring a transfer-printed Art Deco design attributed to the Crown Ducal Orange Tree pattern. This design includes stylized orange flowers with green foliage and navy blue corner medallions. The collection also includes a circular decorative plate decorated with a polychrome winter landscape transfer depicting a timber-framed building, a horse-drawn cart, and figures. Additional items comprise several floral transferware plates: one with a large multi-coloured garden scene, another with a yellow floral sprig pattern, and one with a dense green foliate border. Other forms include a plate with a pale green scalloped rim and a dark-ground plate with a gilded edge. The items appear to be a mix of glazed earthenware, ironstone, and porcelain. Decoration techniques include transfer-printing, hand-tinting, and gilding. No maker’s marks are visible from the overhead perspective, though several pieces bear temporary price and lot labels.
Condition report:
The items are in generally good used condition. Observable wear includes surface scratches to the glaze and some minor fading to the transfer-printed decorations, consistent with age and domestic use. No major chips or cracks are evident from the upper surfaces.
