Lot 105: A Collection of Earthenware Tableware Featuring Parrot and Basket Pattern

A set of earthenware tableware comprising an octagonal lidded tureen, a sauce boat, and three circular plates. The pieces are decorated with a transfer-printed and hand-enameled pattern depicting colourful parrots perched on flowering branches and floral baskets. This central decoration is framed by a broad dark blue border featuring a geometric scale or honeycomb motif, further embellished with gilded scrolls and swags.

The tureen is octagonal in form with an integral lug handle at each end and a scrolled handle to the lid. The sauce boat features a high-arching scrolled handle. All pieces are finished with a gilded rim. The base of the pieces is not visible in the photographs, but the items show characteristics typical of early 20th-century British earthenware production.
