Lot 743: A Large Collection of Approximately 40-50 Novelty Ceramic Teapots and Tableware
This extensive collection consists of approximately 40-50 novelty ceramic teapots, creamers, and sugar bowls, primarily dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The items are produced from glazed earthenware using slip-casting techniques, featuring hand-painted polychrome decoration and some transfer-printed elements. The assortment includes a diverse range of whimsical forms: architectural designs such as thatched cottages, a mock-Tudor house, an Antiques & Bric-a-Brac shopfront, and a mushroom-themed house; figural designs including a pig, a lady in a crinoline-style dress, and a rabbit-themed garden house; and household objects such as a vintage kitchen range and a British red telephone box. Notable markings include a cottage-form teapot with transfer-printed text for Lilley Cricket Club dated 1987 and a mushroom-themed piece marked Village to the base, resembling the Lenox Village series. The collection features pieces in the style of well-known British novelty ceramic manufacturers such as Cardew, Price & Kensington, Tony Wood, Sadler, and Leonardo.
