A child's blue printed 'Peacock' pattern part toy service, mid-19th century, probably by Benjamin Godwin, comprising a teapot and cover, sugar bowl and cover, milk jug, slop bowl, six teacups and six saucers (faults).

A Worcester porcelain large coffee or chocolate cup, circa 1765-70, probably decorated in the James Giles workshop, of typical 'U' shape with grooved loop handle gilt with husks, the main body enamelled with a large Fancy Bird on rockwork accompanied by a smaller bird on a branch, a similar bird in flight to the reverse, beneath a gilded rim, underglaze blue pseudo Meissen mark to base, height 7.5cm (minor gilding loss to rim).

An interesting and unusual Bristol porcelain jug, circa 1770, the pear shaped body enamelled with flowers to both sides within gilded scroll framing against a veined blue ground, the rim, spout and foot with further gilt scrollwork and trellis detail, gilt painted symbol for tin to base with applied paper collection labels, height 15.2cm (two hairlines to rim). Provenance: the A. Trapnell Collection, Albert Amor Ltd, Private Collection. Note: Amor purchased the entire Trapnell Collection of Bristol and Plymouth porcelain in 1912, over 1000 pieces, for an estimated £15,000. It was exhibited and sold at their London gallery. The number '353' to the base of this jug matches the description in Amor's catalogue, where it is described as 'an interesting specimen'. This is probably due to the fact that recorded Bristol porcelain with a ground colour, such as this veined blue example, is unusual. The Amor catalogue does not suggest it is not original, although it is known that certain 18th century porcelains, most notably from the Worcester factory, have sometimes been redecorated in the 19th century.
