Lot 472: A Group of Decorative Items Including an Unglazed Terracotta Hen on Nest Dish and a Relief-Moulded Beer Stein
This group consists of several decorative and functional objects. The collection includes a two-part covered dish or baker in the form of a hen on a nest, made from unglazed terracotta with detailed moulded feathering and a woven-pattern base. Also present is a glazed earthenware figural cookie jar in the shape of a gingerbread man, featuring a textured orange-brown glaze with painted white icing details, blue eyes, and orange buttons. The lot includes a relief-moulded ceramic beer stein with a scene depicting traditional figures in a village setting, finished in earth-tone glazes and fitted with a hinged domed metal lid. A pewter tankard of simple cylindrical form with a C-shaped handle is also included. Several items bear white adhesive labels marked L 7, and the beer stein has an orange label marked 472. Inside the tankard is a blue paper strip containing the characters E O 1 9 9 1 3. No manufacturer marks are visible on the pieces.
Condition report:
