Also present are two owl figurines: a larger specimen in a mottled green material, possibly soapstone or a jadeite composite, and a smaller dark-patinated owl cast in metal or resin, depicted perched on a branch. Completing the lot is a small hand-painted glazed ceramic novelty piece depicting a character head wearing a red hat, and a vintage Singer brand dressmaker's tape measure marked Made in England.
