This lot comprises an assortment of ceramic tableware and decorative pieces. A Chinese ceramic part tea service features a transfer-printed border of pink flowers and green foliage with a green geometric lattice edge. The bases of these items bear a printed black mark consisting of a stylised leaf within a curved line, vertical text reading MADE IN CHINA, and characters reading ZHONGGUO CHAOZHOU. A second group of plates and bowls features a multi-coloured rose pattern and is marked with a printed monogram of the letter M within a C, accompanied by the text BY TIENSHAN and MADE IN CHINA. Also included is a pair of egg-shaped shakers featuring raised circular metallic-tone medallions depicting bird and flower motifs, and two small oval dishes decorated with black and gold silhouettes of figures in 18th-century costume. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the shakers or dishes. The items are presented in a blue box with a gold-printed logo for FAIRFAX & FAVOR ENGLAND.
