Decorated with an underglaze blue and white chinoiserie pattern, this earthenware punch bowl has been attributed to the Herculaneum factory of Liverpool. The unusual and strikingly deep border is printed inside and out and measures roughly 65 mm (2.5 inches). Plate 148 in Alan Smith's "The Illustrated Guide to Liverpool Herculaneum Pottery 1796 - 1840" shows a very similar border on a punch bowl. It has been noted that the central pattern was used by the partnership of William and John Turner (1792-1803). Perhaps the plates were bought by Herculaneum after the closure of the Turner works.

This extensive 34 piece Copeland and Garrett porcelain tea set is decorated with a green printed pattern (pattern 4841), which consists of birds perched on grapevines, together with leaves and flowers, and then enhanced with hand gilding. The set comprises a teapot and stand, a lidded sugar bowl, a milk jug, a 233 mm (9 inches) diameter plate, 10 teacups, 9 coffee cups and 10 saucers. The teapot, sugar bowl and the creamer all stand on quadrate bases, with the teapot standing 150 mm ( 6 inches) high and measuring 265 mm (10.5 inches) from the handle to the spout.

This Spode lidded broth bowl on stand is decorated with the hand coloured chinoiserie pattern 2117. The bowl has a diameter of 106 mm (4.25 inches) and stands 100 mm (4 inches) high including the lid. The stand or saucer has a diameter of 158 mm (6.25 inches). As to condition, everything is in good shape apart from a crack to the bowl, which can be seen in the photos. Weighed against that, is that this is a reasonably rare item and to have survived together for close to 200 years is remarkable.
