Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises a collection of glassware and decorative ceramics. The glassware consists of heavy whiskey tumblers featuring a deep-cut geometric pattern including diamond-point cross-hatching, vertical wedge cuts, and star-cut bases. These are housed in an original green presentation box marked with the Countess Hand Cut Crystal crown logo. The ceramic portion of the lot includes hand-painted figurines depicting hobo or tramp characters with dogs. One figure is seated on a rustic wooden bench, while the other is perched on a rocky base drinking from a wicker-clad flask. The expressive modelling and naturalist style are characteristic of 20th-century Italian porcelain from the Capodimonte tradition, often attributed to artists such as Bruno Merli. No factory marks are visible on the ceramic pieces in the provided images.

Estimated box dimensions: 32cm x 26cm x 11cm.
