Hand Finished Bud Vase with Finch Decoration - Ceramica Ibis, Aveiro Portugal

SOLD

Slender trumpet necked bud vase by Ceramica Ibis of Aveiro,Portugal. It is off white with a matt finish that has a translucent bone china quality to it. It has a hand applied gold line under the rim and a design featuring finches sitting on blossomy branches. Not sure what the finches are; they seem to have goldfinch heads but the rest is a mixture. I dare say someone will put me right.  One or two very light surface smudges but nothing serious and otherwise it's in excellent condition.

Pair of Vintage White Metal or Silver Plated Fighting Cocks

SOLD

Pair of silver plated or white metal fighting cocks. Nice and shiny so it's quite possible they're silver plated. There's some verdigris around some of the vent holes so the base metal probably contains copper but the plating is good (although it does look as though a tiny bit has flaked off one of the feet. There is also a very short crack at one of the wing roots but this may well be original and is barely visible. They are in otherwise excellent condition.

Each one approx: 15cm x 15cm x 15cm

Unusual ornament, a pair of handacrved wooden birds mounted on a piece of worn driftwood or bogwood.They are of an indeterminate species carved from unidentified wood, although it's very light. The birds are mounted on a small piece of dowl, itself mounted in the base. They can be positioned and removed (I will remove them and wrap them separately for dispatch). There is what appears to be a small water stain on one tail fan but otherwise they are in very good condition.
