Buyer's Premium:

This lot consists of two distinct boxed gift sets. The first is a contemporary Chinese ceramic tea set presented in a red fabric-covered display case with a red satin-effect lining and a metal clasp. The set includes a single teapot with a lid featuring three steam holes, six handleless teacups, and a stack of small circular plates tied with a red ribbon. The porcelain pieces are decorated with a motif of pandas and bamboo in black and green, finished with gilt-coloured rims. The teapot body is inscribed with the Chinese characters 恭喜发财 (Gong Xi Fa Cai), translates as wishing prosperity, while the cups bear the characters 中国 (Zhongguo), meaning China, and 宝 (Bao), meaning treasure.

The second item is a commercial Babycham gift set, comprising one 20cl bottle of sparkling perry and one branded glass coupe featuring the yellow chamois mascot. The set is housed in its original teal and silver-coloured metallic card window box. The presence of a contemporary web address on the bottle label indicates this is a modern production.
