Lot 292:
A Collection of Mid-Century Novelty Ceramic Figurines and Condiment Sets including McCoy and Fitz and Floyd Styles Category: Ceramics
Description
A varied collection of mid-20th-century novelty ceramic items, primarily comprising moulded earthenware with hand-painted overglaze polychrome decoration. The assemblage includes anthropomorphic figures in floral-patterned attire, reminiscent of Mary’s Grandma and Grandpa Gardener series, alongside garden gnome characters and small animal studies. Notable condiment sets include a golf-themed decorative piece featuring oversized golf balls and a caddy, and multiple salt and pepper shaker pairs shaped as baskets of flowers and uniformed figures. The aesthetic is characteristic of mid-century kitsch and collectable pottery, with some pieces likely originating from American manufacturers such as McCoy or Japanese export houses like Fitz and Floyd. One item bears a lot tag numbered 2819. Items range in height from approximately 5 cm to 13 cm.
Condition report:
The collection is in overall good condition. There is minor surface wear and small areas of paint loss to the overglaze decoration consistent with age and handling. No significant chips or cracks are immediately apparent upon visual inspection.
