An assortment of decorative items comprising hand-painted porcelain figures, a floral pitcher, a drip-glazed vase, an architectural model, and a reproduction sculpture. The collection includes two porcelain military figures standing on circular bases with gilded rims. One figure depicts an officer in a dark blue tunic, red sash, and cream breeches, holding a bicorne hat. The second figure represents a Hussar officer in a red dolman jacket with white braiding, wearing a tall plumed shako. The decorative pitcher is ornamented with transfer-printed and hand-tinted bouquets of pink and yellow roses, featuring a heavily gilded rococo-style handle and scalloped rim. A large ovoid ceramic vase is decorated with a multi-tonal drip glaze in shades of green. The architectural model represents a twin-towered castle gatehouse with hand-painted floral and moss details. The small white matte sculpture is a reproduction of Michelangelo’s Pietà and is incised PIETA on the front edge of the base.
