Re-Run Sunday Gold & Silver, Antiques & Collectables (14% Buyers Commission)
A collection of vintage leaf-moulded and tomato-themed glazed earthenware tableware, characteristic of mid-20th century British manufacturers and often attributed to Shorter and Son, Beswick, or Carlton Ware. The items feature relief-moulded textures in a vibrant green glaze, with many pieces accented by hand-painted red tomatoes and butterfly motifs. The assortment includes two cabbage-head serving bowls of varying sizes, a tomato-shaped preserve pot, and a lidded butter dish on a leaf-shaped stand. Further serving pieces comprise a sauce boat with a matching stand, a pair of ceramic-handled salad servers with butterfly terminals, and a large circular divided hors d’oeuvre dish. Also present is a pierced colander-style fruit bowl and a small tripartite condiment dish. The collection is completed by a variety of leaf-shaped serving platters and side plates in assorted oval, round, and elongated forms, including one piece finished in a cream glaze.

There are no major cracks or obvious signs of repair. Minor edge wear and small glaze flakes are present on some pieces, consistent with domestic use.
