A Trio of Decorative Items comprising a Porcelain Ring Dish in the Kutani Crane Pattern and Two Lids - This lot consists of three decorative items of various materials and styles. The first item is a heart-shaped porcelain ring dish with a scalloped rim and a central upright column. It is decorated in the Kutani Crane pattern, featuring a polychrome bird perched on a flowering branch with pink, blue, and red blossoms, finished with a gilded edge. This piece is attributed to Wedgwood based on the distinctive pattern. The second item is a circular porcelain lid, possibly for a trinket jar, featuring the British Royal Coat of Arms in the centre. The transfer-printed design includes the lion and unicorn supporters, the crown, and the mottoes Honi soit qui mal y pense and Dieu et mon droit, surrounded by a gilded rim. The third item is a circular turned wood lid with a recessed underside. It is finished in a slate blue ground and hand-painted with a central folk-art style floral motif in red, green, and yellow, accented with white scrolls and dots.
