An assortment of decorative owl figurines in various materials and styles, including ceramic, hand-carved wood, shell-work, and resin. The collection features a large stylized snowy owl in high-gloss white glazed ceramic with black and brown painted facial details. A handcrafted folk art owl is constructed from numerous small gastropod shells, including cowrie and turret varieties, glued to a shaped substrate with inset yellow glass eyes. The group also includes a hand-carved wooden owl with a natural finish and stylized feathering, mounted on a green-painted base, and a smaller resin figurine of an owl perched on a stump featuring a red ladybird detail.

Notable amongst the pieces is a small brown-glazed ceramic owl incorporating a functional inset thermometer with a green scale. The base of this piece is hand-painted in black with the text ‘Butlin’s – Barry Island’, identifying it as a souvenir from the Welsh holiday camp. Completing the lot is a small cast resin owl head with a highly textured surface and large prominent eyes.
