Lot 57: A collection of stoneware tableware and a glass measuring jug
A collection of stoneware tableware including a teapot with a matching lid, a cream jug, a large open bowl, and a smaller lidded pot nested within the bowl. The pieces are finished in a dark brown matte glaze, decorated with hand-painted stylised ochre foliate and rosette motifs. The lids are topped with finials featuring a concentric spiral pattern. No maker’s marks or factory stamps are visible on the exterior of the pieces. A small white adhesive label bearing the printed number 12 is present on the rim of the pitcher and the lid of the teapot. A handwritten orange adhesive label with the number 57 is affixed to the lid of the nested pot. Accompanying the set is a clear glass measuring jug featuring an integral handle and pouring spout. The jug is printed with red measurement scales for cups and sugar, as well as a volume scale in decilitres ranging from 5 to 10. The markings show some signs of fading and wear.
The glass jug has a capacity of 10 decilitres according to the printed scale.
Condition report:
The stoneware items appear to be in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or restorations (photo 1). The matte glaze shows minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The glass measuring jug is intact with no visible structural damage, although the red printed markings are faded and worn in several areas (photo 1).
