Lot Overview
This lot comprises a selection of vintage sheet music, two reference books on Japanese pottery, and a roll of boundary maps including one for Pangbourne. The sheet music includes titles such as “Sir Your Toast” and “Song of the Toreador” from Carmen, suggesting a collection spanning operatic and popular music of the era. The two pottery books, titled “Japanese Garden” and “Satsuma”, offer insights into these distinct styles of Japanese ceramics, with detailed imagery and descriptions. The roll of maps appears to detail land boundaries, with Pangbourne clearly marked.
Condition & Collectability
The items present with signs of age and handling, consistent with their vintage nature. The sheet music shows wear and tear, with some pieces displaying creases and minor damage. The books exhibit wear to covers and spines, but the internal pages appear largely intact. The maps show creasing and some minor tears, but remain legible. This lot would appeal to collectors of vintage ephemera, music enthusiasts, those interested in Japanese art and ceramics, or individuals researching local history and land ownership.
