Bidspirit auction | Two Ceramic Pitchers including a

Two Ceramic Pitchers including a Large Floral Ruffled Ewer and an Imari Palette Ironstone Style Jug - This lot consists of two ceramic pitchers of contrasting styles, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. The larger pitcher is an ornate ewer constructed from cream-coloured earthenware or porcelain. It features a bulbous form with a prominent scrolled handle and a heavily ruffled, scalloped rim. The body is decorated with a naturalistic floral design depicting lilies and foliage in a palette of muted greens, browns, and soft oranges, characteristic of Victorian washstand ceramics. The second item is a small, octagonal faceted pitcher decorated in an Imari palette with underglaze cobalt blue, overglaze iron red, and gilt detailing. The pattern includes alternating panels of chinoiserie landscapes with pagodas and stylised floral elements. It features a textured handle, possibly a serpent or crabstock form, with a mask-head terminal at the spout, in the style of Mason's Ironstone. No maker's marks are visible on the exterior of either vessel. Auction stickers are present on both pieces.
