JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This lot of five vintage and antique ceramic and stone pieces offers excellent variety for collectors. The two dominant pieces are a matched pair of antique two-tone salt-glazed stoneware ginger beer bottles, each standing approximately 9-10 inches tall, featuring the classic Victorian-era design with a warm amber/ochre salt glaze on the upper shoulder and neck transitioning to an unglazed natural cream-white salt stoneware body below. This two-tone style was the standard production format for British ginger beer and mineral water bottles from approximately 1880-1930, fired in coal kilns and prized today by bottle and stoneware collectors. The third small piece is a hand-painted folk art pottery miniature vase approximately 2.5 inches tall, decorated with colorful floral motifs in teal, orange, green, and yellow over a mustard-amber ground with incised vertical line detailing, consistent with Mexican or South American folk pottery traditions. The fourth piece is a small alabaster or marble miniature pot approximately 2 inches tall with a rolled rim, displaying natural cream and blush tones with a smooth matte finish. The fifth piece is a red marble or alabaster turned urn-form miniature vase approximately 3 inches tall with a pedestal base and flared ruffled rim, displaying dramatic red, white, and black veining characteristic of Italian or Spanish decorative stone carving. Condition: The stoneware bottles show honest age-related wear including surface scratches, minor staining, and light crazing consistent with 100+ years of use; the small vases show light wear and minor surface marks; all pieces appear structurally intact with no visible chips or cracks noted.
