A Collection of Decorative Ceramics and Glassware including an Acorn Serving Dish - A collection of various decorative ceramic and glass items. The group is headlined by a glazed earthenware serving dish modelled as an acorn with a brown cross-hatched cap and a yellow base, featuring moulded oak leaf accents to the rim. This piece is attributed to Burleigh Ware (Burgess & Leigh) based on the distinctive form and glaze. The assortment also includes a teardrop-shaped clear glass dish decorated with hand-painted floral sprays including purple, yellow, and blue blooms, finished with a gilt rim. A separate decorative ornament consists of a circular frosted green glass base supporting a central ceramic rose and foliage. The porcelain elements of the collection feature a square dish with a scalloped gilt rim and central transfer-printed image of an African Elephant, a series of small circular saucers with polychrome transfer-printed coaching scenes, and a white ceramic wall pocket with a basket-weave texture bearing a blue and gold heraldic crest. Also included are various plates and vessels with floral transfer-printed designs and gilded highlights.
