Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp doll, given to Miss Johnson of the British Red Cross' --19in. (48cm.) high - History - Bergen-Belsen was liberated on the 15th April 1945, a simple internet search will provide you with all the horrific facts, but there was a party of British Red Cross nurses and doctors who stayed and nursed those they could, back to health, so they could leave the camp. They were slowly reintroduced to food and as they gained their strength, the women were given scraps of cloth and made this type of doll. Provenance - these dolls were made by Polish women/girls and six of these dolls were gifted to Mrs Thompson, Miss Johnson and Miss Smith (later Mrs Bailey), Red Cross nurses; one of these women took them to Jackie Wyartt's grandmother in 1953, who ran Birmingham's Dolls' Hospital, Jackie inherited her grandmother's doll collection. Rarely have these dolls been seen in public, for a short while they were toured around England by the Women's Institute (approx 1956-1960) and Jackie also showed them to Anne Frank's father, Otto, in the late 1970s.

A heavy baluster goblet, circa 1710-20, and an exceptionally rare cover, circa 1700-10The generous round funnel bowl with a solid base, resting on a half knop above a wide teared inverted baluster and teared basal knop, over a folded conical foot, the domed cover moulded with gadroons to the top, surmounted by a hollow finial finely moulded in the form of the head of a woman wearing a bonnet with pincered detailing, resting on a wavy collar, 32.5cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate British CollectionThe remarkable cover on this goblet is paralleled only by a coin goblet in the Museum of London (inv. no.34.139/14) illustrated by both John Hayes, The Garton Collection of English Table Glass (1965), p.24, no.13 and Francis Buckley, A History of Old English Glass (1925), pl.VII. That finial is modelled as the head of a gentleman wearing a tricorn hat, surmounting a hollow knop containing a coin dated 1708 with the stem of the goblet containing a further coin dated 1714. Related finials in the form of both male and female heads, most wearing tricorn hats and some occasionally with coronets in coloured glass, were used on a rare and distinctive type of conical feeder or fountain made for caged birds discussed and illustrated in detail by Nöel Hume, 'Ornamental glass bird fountains of the eighteenth century', Antiques, Vol.90, No.2 (August 1966), pp.208-10. An example with a male head is illustrated by W A Thorpe, A History of English and Irish Glass (1929), pl.LXXXII. A London advertisement of 1706 in the Post Man mentions 'Cristol Bird Glasses' and a number of fragments have been excavated in London, suggesting that these finials were made in London early on in 18th century. Scholars have attempted to attribute the male heads to popular heroes including the Duke of Marlborough or Prince Eugene, but it seems unlikely that they were intended to represent anyone specific.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
