General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
This collection of vintage English ceramic tableware is executed in the iconic Cottage Ware style, a design closely associated with Staffordshire potteries such as Price Brothers and Price & Kensington. The pieces are crafted from glazed earthenware with relief-moulded details and hand-painted polychrome decoration. The design depicts traditional English thatched cottages featuring yellow and brown roofs, reddish-brown timber-framed or brick-effect walls, and white-framed windows. The lower sections are detailed with green foliage and floral accents. The assortment includes a variety of functional and decorative items such as teapots, including one with an overhead wicker-wrapped handle, large jugs, a smaller cream jug, a toast rack, and a set of egg cups on a matching rectangular tray. Also included are multiple lidded jars of various sizes, suitable for use as biscuit barrels or preserve pots, decorative table bells, and a sauce boat. No maker’s marks are visible on the pieces as displayed.
Condition report:
The collection is in good vintage condition. As is typical with earthenware of this period, some items exhibit fine surface crazing and minor nicks to the glaze. The wicker wrapping on the large teapot handle appears well-preserved. No major cracks or professional repairs are evident from visual inspection.
