This collection comprises a variety of 20th-century glassware and cut crystal, including commemorative and promotional pieces. The lot features a set of stemmed liqueur or sherry glasses with gold rims and transfer-printed crests featuring a crown over the monogram E R II, with a banner inscribed Coronation 1953. Also present is a group of heavy-based tumblers with geometric linear and triangular cut decoration, each etched with a corporate logo depicting a globe with overlapping characters.

The cut crystal selection includes a large fruit bowl with diamond-cut panels and fan-shaped starburst motifs to the rim, which holds a smaller matching nested bowl. A cut crystal decanter with a globular body in a hobnail pattern and a faceted geometric stopper is also included, along with several small cut crystal vases, one of which bears a gold-foil manufacturer’s label.

Further items include a large clear glass bowl with a scalloped edge and moulded linear decoration, a leaf-shaped serving tray with moulded vein details, a pressed glass lidded sugar bowl with twin handles, a glass jar with a darkened metal screw lid, a faceted glass scent bottle or miniature decanter with a stopper, and a small glass open salt or dish.
