Six continental porcelain figural groups, 19th century, to include two Edme Samson vegetable merchants pushing barrows, each 10.5cm high, and two further Edme Samson groups, all with painted gold anchor marks imitating Chelsea, together with two further continental porcelain figures, an English porcelain milk jug with mask spout and foliate handle, possibly Chelsea, painted red anchor mark to base, 9.5cm high, a dolphin and shell salt, 7cm high, a Sevres style box and cover, 7cm diameter, 4.5cm high, and a glass bottle of small proportions decorated with opaque twists (10) (at fault)

More Information

Milk jug shows rubbing to the gilt highlights, a chip to the rim approximately 1cm wide and a glazing fault to the handle's upper terminal. The mask spout shows firing cracks to both sides of the face, and a glazed chip to the interior. The Chinese style decoration may be later clobbering.

The dolphin salt shows rubbing to the gilt highlights and surface wear throughout particularly to the interior of the shell bowl. The shell rim shows the odd small nibble.

Both pieces are dirty and would benefit from cleaning.
