A Selection of Various Miniature Cups and Saucers and a Decorative Model Cottage

This lot features a selection of various miniature cups and saucers, primarily of porcelain and fine earthenware construction, accompanied by a small decorative model cottage. The collection includes a teacup with a solid bright gold-tone metallic glaze to the exterior and a matching fluted saucer with a wide gilt border. Also present is a lustre-ware cup and saucer featuring an iridescent pearlescent glaze with a pink rose transfer print and gilt-scroll borders. Further items include a teacup and saucer decorated with small pink and purple floral sprigs and a gilt rim, and a scalloped-edge saucer and matching cup decorated with vibrant pink rose transfers and gilt highlights. The group also contains two white porcelain teacups with deep vertical fluting, a tapered cup with a gilt handle, and a pale green tinted saucer. The decorative cottage is a small model of a thatched building, likely composed of a resin or similar composite material. A small green printed mark is visible on the base of one white fluted cup, appearing as a circular or shield-shaped stamp, though the characters are not clearly legible.
