Lot 478
Barnett Commando Crossbow, fitted with Tasco 4x32 scope, together with case, spare bow, and quiver of arrows.No licence required to buy this item, purchaser must be over the age of 18. Cannot be posted to a home address and can only be posted to a Registered Firearms Dealer.Condition report: The crossbow has been stored in a damp area and consequently there is some light corrosion spots to the metal work generally, this would clean up fairly easily on the steel parts but perhaps not on the brass coloured parts. There are scuffs and marks from use but no major damage that I can see. The string is frayed and whilst it will still take the tension of cocking the bow it could probably do with being replaced. The optics are clear and focused to sight through.
Lot 101
A Worcester teapot and cover, circa 1754-55Of globular form with a loop handle, the cover with a flower bud finial left in the white, painted in kakiemon style with the 'Banded Hedge' pattern, a phoenix-like bird in flight above flowering prunus and bamboo growing from banded hedges, the rims edged in brown, 10.5cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceSimon Spero 1996 exhibition, no. 27Ralph Kenber CollectionThe Banded Hedge PatternBased on the Japanese 'Three Friends' pattern, arguably via Meissen, Worcester's interpretation of the 'Banded Hedge' pattern does not include the pine tree featured in the oriental original. At Worcester, yellow was effectively used to enliven this pattern and set it apart not only from the Japanese original, but from more subdued versions at Chelsea and Bow.A lobed teapot in this pattern is illustrated by Simon Spero, The Klepser Collection (1984), p.23, no.5, colour pl.5.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 23
A Worcester dry mustard pot, circa 1753Of gentle baluster form, painted in famille verte style with a heron-like bird flanked by a willow tree and flowering plants, an insect in flight above, the reverse with a rock and another flying insect, 7.5cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceJohn Alchin CollectionA similar example is illustrated by Simon Spero, The Klepser Collection (1984), p.25, no.8. Dry mustard was frequently used as a spice at this period, most probably in toddies and punch.Worcester's Strutting BirdsA most appropriate name was coined by an unknown collector or auction cataloguer to describe a curious species of bird painted in enamel colours on some of the earliest Worcester porcelain. Ultimately based on porcelain from the Orient, the comical birds are far removed from their Chinese origin and it seems more likely the painters responsible had learnt their trade decorating English delftware. Strutting birds are also seen on Bow porcelain of similar date and while we will never know which factory used them first, the Worcester versions are definitely the most amusing.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
