Lot 16: A Trio of Neoclassical Style Metal Beverage Vessels

This auction ended on 3 October 2026.

Start price: £5

Buyer's Premium: 18%

This lot comprises a lidded pot, an open sugar bowl, and a cream jug. Each vessel features a rounded, bulbous body and a polished finish. The pieces are decorated with a machine-engraved frieze depicting classical figures in robes, some of whom are shown playing lyres, set beneath decorative swags and bows. The pot is fitted with a flat, circular lid and a black plastic finial. All three items are equipped with molded black plastic handles secured to the bodies by metal brackets and rivets. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on any of the pieces.


Condition report:

The set shows signs of use and age. All three pieces exhibit visible surface scratches, scuffs, and small indentations to the metal bodies. There is a dulling of the finish and areas of darkening inside the vessels. The plastic handles and pot finial show surface wear but remain structurally sound. The pot lid is present and appears to fit.
