The central focus is a glazed ceramic palmistry hand model inscribed with black anatomical and esoteric notations such as "Heart Line" and "Life Line," with approximate dimensions of 15–20 cm in height. The group also includes a detailed white bust of Ludwig van Beethoven, marked "L.V. BEETHOVEN" on a square pedestal base, and a smaller bust of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, inscribed at its circular base. Additional pieces include a bronze-toned bust of a classical male figure, a replica of the Discobolus statue in cream-toned resin, a traditional white female bust on a round pedestal, and a symmetrical pair of off-white architectural bookends. The objects reflect neoclassical and romantic-inspired styles, likely late 19th to mid-20th century in creation, with some modern reproductions also present.

Collection of Hand-Thrown Ceramic Bowls - Peter VostThis is a collection of sixteen ceramic bowls of varying sizes, showcasing artisanal craftsmanship. The bowls present diverse forms, from shallow and wide to deeper cylindrical designs, with visible hand-thrown markings, such as concentric ridges, and slight irregularities indicating studio pottery techniques. The finishes display a range of muted, earthy tones, including burgundy, plum, black, and off-white, with varied glazing techniques producing glossy, semi-matte, and textured effects. Notable features include visible glaze drips, pooling, marbled patterns, and speckling, consistent with reduction firing processes. The combination of interior and exterior glaze variations highlights individual craftsmanship, with some bowls exhibiting uneven rim thicknesses and personalised lip finishes. One bowl shows a handwritten maker’s mark on the base reading "Vost," likely attributable to the potter Peter Vost, part of the British studio pottery movement. The use of reduction techniques, earthy tones, and experimental glazing is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century studio pottery traditions influenced by Anglo-Oriental methods and the broader Mingei movement. The collection ranges in size, with estimated diameters from 8 cm to 25 cm. Further inspection may reveal additional identifying marks or inscriptions. Likely suitable for collectors, functional use, or display, the pieces exemplify the fusion of artistic expression with functional pottery design.
