Lot 77:
Description
This lot consists of nineteen vintage animal-themed ceramic and porcelain pieces, primarily featuring elephants in various styles and poses. The collection includes seventeen elephant-themed items, ranging from standing and seated figurines to functional pieces designed as small vessels or open holders. Notable items include a brown textured elephant-shaped vessel and a white porcelain elephant vessel featuring the embossed capital letters MONOPOL around its upper rim, likely indicating its origin as a promotional piece. The assortment is completed by two pig-themed figurines, including a pink pig-shaped open holder and a white porcelain pig vessel. The items are crafted from molded ceramic and porcelain and finished with a variety of glazes, such as high-gloss solid colors in black, dark brown, and white, hand-painted polychrome details with pink and gray accents, and one piece featuring a mottled blue-and-white glaze. Several pieces are designed for functional use, potentially serving as small vases, brush holders, or open spice cellars.
