A superb, and extremely rare, Jobling matt opalescent elephant (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles), their pattern number 10700, design number 795793, registered on 22nd August 1934. As with most of Jobling's animal figures, it was designed in France (the artist's name is not recorded), and the model for the mould executed by Etienne Franckhauser, who had worked for both St Louis and Lalique, among other companies. There is a partial moulded mark 'REGN. APPLIED FOR' just behind the elephant's left foreleg (detail below, left), so this is an early example
The condition is generally excellent, with just one tiny shell-chip below one of the elephant's toes (below, right), which is not noticeable when the figure is upright

We knew that Davidsons introduced colours into the 'Chippendale' range of glassware after they began producing it in about 1930, but not that they used such an intense cobalt-blue. These four glasses (shown much smaller than life-sized above) are from 'Suite No.1', and are either claret (pattern 1028) or port (pattern 1027) glasses (we are not certain which, as the catalogue does not specify sizes, but we think they are a bit large for port)
The glasses are in generally good condition, although one has a piece of some foreign matter embedded in the glass under the foot (see detail below, centre), and one has a small chip on the underside of one corner of the foot (outlined in yellow in the detail below, right) which could easily be polished out

A rare Sowerby 'Jack Horner' bellows (shown about life-sized at top, left) from the 'nursery rhyme ' series based on the illustrations of Walter Crane, in purple marble glass. The actual design is more easily visible in the detail at top right, which is from the 1882 Sowerby catalogue, and also shows the pattern number (1285).
Sadly, as is so often the case, the tip of the bellows is incomplete (the yellow line in the detail at centre right shows how the tip should be), and the low asking price reflects this
