Lot 100:
Description
This lot consists of three beer engine pump handles and five associated bottle pourers, all featuring a traditional English fox hunting motif. The pump handles are constructed from glazed ceramic and decorated with multi-scene transfer prints. The upper section of each handle depicts hunters in red coats on horseback accompanied by foxhounds leaping a fence, while the lower section features a solitary fox in a landscape setting. The five bottle pourers are made of white ceramic with curved spouts and are fitted with natural cork bungs. There are no visible maker marks or factory stamps on any of the items.
Pump handles: 29 cm
Bottle pourers: 9 cm.
Condition report:
The items are in used condition with visible surface grime and residue throughout. Two of the pump handles appear structurally sound with minor superficial wear to the transfer-printed decoration. One pump handle has sustained a significant large chip and break at the threaded ceramic mounting base. The five pourers show minor surface marks and typical age-related staining to the cork bungs.
