Buyer's premium:

This diverse collection comprises ceramicware, predominantly tea and coffee cups, saucers, mugs, and a variety of decorative plates, alongside a silver-colored metal tankard and a set of cutlery. The ceramic items, appearing to be porcelain or fine china, feature extensive gold-colored rims and accents. Styles range from various floral patterns to commemorative pieces, including one plate depicting a royal portrait (likely Queen Elizabeth II) and several collector’s plates. Prominent examples include a pair of identical plates featuring a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy in a basket, and a large plate adorned with multiple dog breeds alongside the English text: “A DOG IS A FRIEND / WHOSE LOVE IS TRUE / A FAITHFUL COMPANION / LOYAL AND TRUE / WITH A WAGGING TAIL / AND A HEART SO PURE / A DOG IS A FRIEND / THAT WILL ALWAYS ENDURE,” titled “THE DOG LOVER’S PLEDGE.” A visible paper certificate indicates some items are “Authentic hand-crafted porcelain plates” with “22-carat gold.” The collection is likely from the mid-to-late 20th century or early 21st century. Market research suggests the potential inclusion of pieces by makers such as Aynsley and Shelley.
