A
Chelsea Porcelain Plate.
c.1756-58. |
| A
rare Chelsea porcelain plate dating from the late
1750's. Shaped with a twelve lobed rim with alternate
panels of colourful bird and engine-turning. The centre
painted with a flower group and scattered sprigs, some of
which placed to hide defects in the porcelain body. The rim edge
with chocolate brown highlighting. Marked to the back
with a typically small Red Anchor. Measures 21.5cm.
diameter. |
Condition
There is a lot of speckling to the glaze from the firing. The
edge of the rim has three small restored chips. There is
typical crazing to the glaze that has stained slightly on the
back of the plate. There is also a little wear to the
decoration .
Not the finest example of Chelsea porcelain, but a rare piece
nonetheless. An affordable example for a collector of
early English Porcelain!
