A good late 19th century conical-shaped green-glass vase within a highly stylised Art Nouveau gilt-metal mount, raised on three reticulated cast feet as fruiting vine (27.5cm high)Condition Report: The vase looks in very good overall order with no chips, cracks or restorations of problems noted. The gilding is noted to be of good quality and is bright with no problems. There is a very minor half matchhead sized chip at the back of the vase at the bottom of the glass base but is barely noticeable and only detected with very close inspection.
A French Art Deco period, gilded and painted bronze showgirl figure; she wears a top hat and carries a mandolin under her right arm and stands upon a geometric multi-coloured marble and onyx base formed of protruding tablets upon a black marble or slate octagonal base (58.5cm high) Condition Report: In the Auctioneer's opinion the item is most definitely a period piece, the only ambiguity is if the hand and hands are ivory or 'ivorine'. Upon very close inspection under a loupe the face appears to definitely have an ivory type grain to it. The piece is probably from the mid 1930s. There is a small, not too deep 0.5cm chip away from the front LH return to the black octagonal base. There is some wear to the extremities of the sleeves and also to the back and top around the neck and certainly to the LH elbow, probably commensurate with cleaning. Some slight discolouration around the neck area. The piece has come as a private entry from a central London residence and appears to be in good original condition. No foundry mark visible.
A Canford Pottery vase hand decorated with stylised shapes in the Art Deco manner, signed to underside (23cm high) Condition Report: The vase is multi coloured in the Art Deco pattern.

The vase appears unusually large for the short period of the factory 'life'.
