Lot 30: An Assortment of Miniature Glazed Ceramic Crested Souvenir Ware

This lot comprises an assortment of miniature glazed ceramic vessels, primarily constructed from white porcelain and fine earthenware. The collection features a variety of forms including creamers, pitchers, mugs, and vases, many of which are decorated with polychrome transfer-printed heraldic crests and coats of arms typical of British souvenir ware. One small pitcher bears a red dragon crest above the text APPLY. Another vessel displays a crest with the motto PORT R…. A small mug features a landscape scene with text ending in …SHIRE. The collection also includes a larger bulbous vase with a flared, scalloped rim, decorated with a multi-coloured floral transfer-printed pattern featuring pink roses and blue flowers. Several items possess hand-applied gilt rims and accents. Two clear glass stands with diamond-cut patterns are included, alongside a fragment of a hand-painted figurine in green and red attire. Most items do not have legible maker’s marks visible on the bases as they are positioned, although crests are prominent on several pieces.
