Lot 100: A Group of Ceramic Jugs and Pitchers with Metal Lids

A group of ceramic jugs and pitchers of various forms, constructed with cream or white-glazed earthenware bodies. The vessels are decorated with transfer-printed polychrome floral motifs, scrolled borders, and gilded bands. One vessel is finished with a distinctive black and yellow checkerboard pattern and horizontal gilding. Each item is fitted with a hinged lid made of white metal, likely pewter, many featuring repoussé shell and leaf designs with raised finials. Handles include scrolled ceramic types and a dark, possibly ebonised, handle on the geometric-patterned jug. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the exterior surfaces.
