Lot 604: A Collection of Blue and White and Polychrome Transfer-ware Ceramics
A collection of transfer-ware and hand-painted ceramics of varied forms and decoration. The group includes a lidded hot water or coffee pot featuring a blue transfer-printed cathedral or abbey scene set within ornate scrollwork borders. This is accompanied by a small cream jug decorated in a variation of the traditional Willow pattern, depicting pagodas, birds, and weeping willow trees. Also included is a porcelain figurine of a geisha dressed in a kimono and holding a folding fan, finished in hand-painted polychrome enamels with floral motifs. The lot further contains several small tea bowls, comprising one with a blue geometric interior border and two others featuring a reddish-pink stippled ground, commonly referred to as a grain-of-rice pattern, finished with gilded rims. The items are of glazed earthenware and porcelain construction. A white adhesive label on the geisha figurine reads 9249. No other manufacturer marks or country-of-origin stamps are legible on the visible surfaces of the pieces.
