Description
A collection of six assorted ceramic items, comprising various earthenware and stoneware vessels showcasing a range of decorative techniques. The group includes a large ovoid vase with gilded C-scroll handles, featuring a heavy sand-textured finish and a hand-painted grape and vine motif in dark brown. A mid-century style teardrop-shaped tripod dish is decorated with a vibrant red and mottled brown drip glaze. The assortment also features a double-lobed basket with a high fixed handle, finished in a volcanic drip glaze over a red ground. An incised mark to the base of the basket includes the characters M and G above the word Hype and a stylized flourish. A rounded kettle-style teapot is finished in cobalt blue flow-style glaze with a transfer-printed romantic garden scene. The lot further includes a barrel-form relief pitcher with a tavern scene in a golden-brown glaze, a heart-shaped planter with a burgundy-red sang de boeuf style finish, and a small red glazed dish. The base of the large vase displays a yellow crazed glaze and a rough unglazed foot rim.
