An assortment of glazed earthenware items including lidded preserve jars, small pitchers, and a bowl, featuring naturalistic botanical and novelty designs. The collection includes various citrus-shaped jars, notably several orange-form pots with leaf finials and a lemon-form pot with floral decoration. Also included are a textured pineapple-shaped jar with a green spiked lid and a large orange-coloured globular jar with a broad green leaf-shaped lid. A novelty cylindrical jar is present, fashioned with a textured bark-like exterior and a light green lid featuring a small bird finial. The set is complemented by a yellow pitcher shaped like a citrus fruit with a green branch handle, a plain green creamer, and a speckled beige bowl with a dark brown interior glaze. The pieces are decorated with vibrant polychrome glazes, showing a combination of underglaze painting and overglaze enamel details. No maker’s marks are visible on the bases. These items are characteristic of mid-20th-century novelty ceramics produced by manufacturers such as Shorter and Son, Carlton Ware, or Bordallo Pinheiro.
