I have the honor and privilege of selling the collection of an avid and discerning collector of Mauchline Ware consisting of transfer, checker, Parian and tartan ware with a smattering of a few other finishes. I will be listing them in bite size batches over the next several months so that over time collectors can absorb the depth and breadth of the collection. This gentleman amassed an amazing collection of pieces, some of which I have never seen before and I have seen many collectors' collections over the years. This powder or trinket round box, fashioned in two tone wood has a large transfer of Bunyon's Statue, Bedford.A bronze statue of
John Bunyan

St Peter's Green

Joseph Edgar
Boehm

Ninth Duke of Bedford

John Bunyan (1628-1688) was an English Christian writer and religious dissident, who was born, and lived in Bedfordshire and was twice imprisoned in
