Lot 146: A Stuart Crystal Miniature Rose Bowl and a Footed Pitcher
Sold for: £1
This lot comprises two decorative objects: a miniature crystal rose bowl and a small footed pitcher. The lead crystal rose bowl features a diamond-cut body and a star-cut base, fitted with a removable metal mesh grille. The bowl bears a green oval adhesive label to the rim reading STUART ENGLAND and is accompanied by its original card packaging printed with A MINIATURE BY STUART CRYSTAL and floral motifs. The single-handled pitcher is constructed from ceramic with a dark matte finish featuring a gold-coloured sponge-effect decoration. The rim, handle, and foot are accented with solid gilding. A circular mark is applied to the base in red, blue, and white; the mark consists of a red background with a stylised blue and white symbol that is not legible as a name.
