Mauchline Transfer Ware Miniature Boxed Set of Scott's Poetical Works Fantastic!

Description

I have the honor and privilege of selling the collection of an avid and discerning collector of Mauchline Ware consisting of transfer, checker, Parian, fern 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 incredible miniature boxed set of Sir Walter Scott's poetical works contains six miniature books published by David Bryce & Son, Glascow. They are as follows; Marmion, Lady of the Lake, Rokeby and The  Field of Waterloo, Lay of the Last Minstrel, The Bridal of Triermain, Lord of the Isles  and The Vision of Don Roderick.
Each book is in excellent condition, has a lithograph on the frontice page and gilt writing and decoration. The box has a transfer of Sir Walter Scott, Bart and Abbotsford, the home of Scott. When closed, the box
measures 3.0" tall, 4.0" long or wide and is 2 11/16" deep. Each book is 3 3/8" by 2 5/8". I
