Also included are various miniature teapots, trinket boxes, and figurines, including a heart-shaped lattice dish and a blue jasperware style pillbox.
Condition report:
The collection is in fair to good condition overall. There is visible crazing to the glaze of the T.G. Green bread crock and minor surface wear typical of use across the lot. No significant chips or cracks are immediately apparent to the larger service pieces, although some miniature items may show minor wear to gilding or encrusted floral elements.
