This group of ceramic items includes one T. Furnival and Son ironstone lidded pot, two molded floral pitchers, and two Canadian Centennial commemorative mugs. The ironstone lidded pot features a faceted, bulbous form with a curved spout, a large D-shaped handle, and a lid topped with a molded finial depicting two birds. It is decorated with a brown underglaze transfer-printed botanical motif in the Flores Vanni pattern, depicting wildflowers, grasses, and insects, including bees. The base bears a brown underglaze transfer mark featuring the pattern name within a rectangular cartouche and T. Furnival and Son on a curved ribbon. The two white glazed earthenware pitchers display bulbous bodies with scalloped rims and foliate handles, featuring elaborate relief-molded floral and leaf patterns. One pitcher base is stamped with the characters B 4 1. The two Canadian Centennial commemorative mugs are crafted from glazed earthenware in a tapered cylindrical shape with flared rims and single D-shaped handles. Each mug features a relief-molded emblem of the stylized eleven-triangle maple leaf logo above the dates 1867 and 1967. The mugs are finished in a two-tone honey-tan glaze with a dark olive-green drip glaze at the rim and interior. The base of one mug is incised with CANADA. Mugs: Height 4 inches (measured against a tape measure) Pitchers: Height approx. 5.75 inches (measured against a tape measure) Lidded Pot: Height approx. 9 inches (measured against a tape measure). Condition: The lidded pot exhibits fine crazing across the body and lid, with minor brownish staining visible at the lid rim and the tip of the spout.
