Buyer's Premium:

This collection comprises an assortment of cast brass miniature figurines and novelty decorative objects. The group includes various animal subjects such as cats, deer, a swan, a rooster, a rabbit, a fish, and a bird perched on an ornamental branch stand. Domestic miniatures feature several kettles and teapots of differing designs, an anvil, a small bell, a clog-shaped ashtray, and a small mortar and pestle. Other items include a stylised human hand with a pointing finger, a chased long-necked surahi vase, a wall-mounted hook in the form of a teapot, a bottle opener with a bell base, a miniature oil can with a black rubber bulb, and a miniature chair in the Gothic Revival style. Several pieces exhibit chased or engraved floral and foliate patterns. The teapot-shaped wall hook bears a circular British Registered Design mark with the characters REGD followed by a multi-digit number. The miniature mortar is inscribed with the word WEE on the inner rim. These items are likely of British manufacture, typical of the Birmingham brass trade during the mid-20th century.
