The auction house’s description

Legendary Collections: A Lust for Lustre brings together 406 lots with an exceptional concentration of British ceramics, led by Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Doulton Lambeth, and Moorcroft. Royal Doulton highlights range from Bunnykins and Beatrix Potter prototypes to rare colorways, character jugs, Art Deco figures, animal studies, Kingsware, and vivid Flambe and Sung wares. The Doulton story continues through Lambeth stoneware by Hannah Barlow, Florence Barlow, Mark V. Marshall, Eliza Simmance, George Tinworth, and other noted decorators.

Wedgwood forms another major component, spanning Fairyland Lustre, Daisy Makeig-Jones designs, Jasperware, Black Basalt, Rosso Antico, creamware, caneware, majolica, Queensware, and works associated with John Skeaping, Keith Murray, Millicent Taplin, Arnold Machin, and other designers. Moorcroft selections include Macintyre and Florian Ware alongside Pomegranate, Moonlit Blue, trial pieces, Prestige works, and designs by Kerry Goodwin, Philip Gibson, Sally Tuffin, Rachel Bishop, and Nicola Slaney. Dennis Chinaworks and Cobridge Stoneware add further depth to the modern studio pottery represented.

Beyond these extensive ceramic holdings are distinctive works by Goldscheider, Royal Worcester, Martin Brothers, Lalique, and Swarovski. Grotesque stoneware, Art Deco figures, lustre surfaces, experimental glazes, animal sculpture, silver-mounted pottery, crystal, and unusual prototypes give the catalog its remarkable range. From a Robert Wallace Martin double-face grotesque jug and Martin Brothers bird to Lalique glass and crystal sculpture, A Lust for Lustre is built around objects distinguished by inventive form, surface, color, and craftsmanship.
