Lot 333: A Collection of Ceramics, Metalware, and Decorative Household Items
A varied assortment of household and decorative objects, primarily comprising ceramics, metalware, and glass. The collection features a large unglazed terracotta cylinder bearing a partial circular transfer mark for Henry Watson’s Potteries, Suffolk, with the text at Home / Pottery. The group includes several white ceramic mugs decorated with green shamrock borders and maritime-themed transfer prints. Also present is a glazed terracotta pitcher and a speckled pink earthenware bowl containing a white ceramic llama figurine. Metalware items consist of a cream-coloured metal canister with a ribbed base and the inscription BISCUITS, a small pressed brass-tone metal bowl, and a wooden-handled T-bar tool. Glassware is represented by two faceted clear glass or crystal tea light holders. The group is completed by an ornate silver-tone oval picture frame set with clear stones and a large yellow sponge. The ceramic items include both unglazed and glazed earthenware bodies. Metal components appear to be manufactured from pressed steel and various metal alloys.
