Buyer's Premium:

A collection of 22 assorted 20th-century ceramic and mixed media novelty items and decorative housewares. The primary item is a large, deep blue and white ceramic advertising jug, shaped like the letter ‘E’, identified through market consensus as a Vintage Worthington E Beer Promotional Bar Jug, often attributed to Wade PDM Pottery. The jug features the reversed text “Worthington” on the white panel. The collection also includes two ceramic money banks/figurines shaped like Winnie the Pooh (cream-colored, marked “HUNNY”) and a smiling green bear. Two brown ceramic containers styled as barrels are present, both marked “DARTS BARREL.” Decorative items include a tall white fluted ceramic vase with floral transfer decoration, a standing dark blue ceramic vase styled in the manner of Jasperware with white relief decoration, and a cream-colored ceramic nursery bowl featuring a Peter Rabbit motif around the rim and interior. Further items comprise an orange and black ceramic tiger figurine, a small plastic chimney sweep figure, a miniature white ceramic top hat, a cherub figurine, and assorted smaller ceramic dishes and decorative fragments. The lot spans various styles and manufacturers common to mid-to-late 20th-century novelty production.
