Buyer's Premium:

This collection of 20th and 21st-century ceramics comprises a variety of commemorative, decorative, and functional pieces, primarily of British origin. The lot includes a large cream-coloured earthenware serving bowl by Crown Clarence, featuring a red and black floral transfer-printed design. The base of the bowl is marked with a crown device and the text CROWN, CLARENCE, STAFFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND. Commemorative wares include a porcelain cabinet plate featuring a photographic portrait of the Prince and Princess of Wales, a mug for the 2012 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II with a royal cypher and portrait, and a mug commemorating an official visit. The teaware consists of multiple sets, including a bone china cup and saucer with a green and white seaweed style foliate pattern and gilt scalloped rims, sets with pink rose and gold-tone borders, and blue and green floral sprays. A novelty cup and saucer set is inscribed Grandad and decorated with a vintage bicycle illustration, while another set features a green shamrock pattern. The collection also includes a small cream pitcher with gold-tone decorative banding to the shoulder and handle. The pieces are constructed from a mix of bone china, porcelain, and earthenware, predominantly featuring transfer-printed decorations with some hand-applied gold-tone accents.
