An Assortment of Decorative Porcelain and Ceramic Figurines, Tableware, and Ornaments - An assortment of decorative porcelain, ceramic, and composite objects. The collection includes a Royal Doulton white porcelain sculpture titled 'The Leap' from the 'Images' collection, dated 1982, depicting a dolphin in an arched pose. A second stylized dolphin figurine in cream-toned ceramic is mounted on a textured blue wave-form base; it bears the incised signature 'P. Santini' and a partial paper label for 'Gallery of Art, Prof. Carlo, Italy'. A dark-patinated figurine, likely cold-cast bronze or resin, by Giovanni Schoeman, portrays a child riding a dolphin amongst seaweed and shells. The group features an ornate Staffordshire-style ceramic clock case or mantel ornament, decorated with seated figures in relief, applied floral motifs, and architectural details in green, red, and orange. Teaware items include a floral chintz-patterned cup and saucers bearing the 'ALTON C.W.H. & S.' crown mark, and a bird-themed porcelain saucer by Sara Miller London for Portmeirion. Also included is a collection of white shell-form ceramic napkin rings, a blue and white transfer-printed lidded tureen, a white porcelain cup with a green tree emblem, and a decorative resin elephant-themed fountain piece.
