Crested Ware Assortment
This lot comprises a substantial collection of over 40 pieces of crested ware, predominantly from Arcadian China and Grafton China. These miniature ceramic items feature applied crests representing various British towns, cities, and landmarks. The collection includes a diverse range of forms, such as jugs, vases, shields, and other decorative pieces, each meticulously crafted and adorned with colourful heraldic designs. The pieces showcase the popular Edwardian and interwar practice of collecting souvenirs, capturing a nostalgic glimpse into British history and local pride.
Condition and Collectibility
The condition of the crested ware varies, with some pieces exhibiting minor wear consistent with age and handling. Some pieces may have slight crazing to the glaze or minor imperfections in the crests, but overall, the collection presents well. This assortment will appeal to collectors of British ceramics, crested ware enthusiasts, and those interested in social history. The presence of both Arcadian and Grafton pieces adds to the collection’s desirability, as these are two of the most sought-after manufacturers in this field.
