A First Period Worcester Reticulated
Dessert Dish. c.1775. |
A
rare pieced Worcester square dessert dish. Pierced
English Creamware from Leeds and other centres seems to have
been the inspiration for these rare Worcester pieces. Strangely
most examples of this tricky and presumably expensive
technique seem to have been decorated with cheaper blue
transfer prints or simple enameling This dish with it's typically
well painted, Worcester factory interpretation of
Chelsea / Meissen flowers, must be quite
rare. The dish measures. 22.5cm. x 22cm. across and 4cm.
high. There are no factory marks.
|
Condition
Good, the only
slight damage being a tiny glaze chip to the end of one of the
edge scrolls. There is a small amount of enamel loss,
mainly to the rim.

A
Very Large Worcester Cabbage Leaf Jug. c.1770-80 |
An exceptionally large Worcester 'Cabbage leaf' jug.
30.4cm. high and about 64cm. in circumference. It
is transfer printed with the 'Pinecone' and other floral and
Butterfly prints. The prints are particularly clear for this
type of ware, probably due to the size of the piece!
|
Condition
Unfortunately the jug has suffered damage.
There is restoration to a crack which runs across the base and
about half way up the one side. There has also been
restoration to chips at the edge of the Mask pouring lip. The
piece still displays well and would make a good centre piece
to a collection of blue & white

A
Rare Coalport ? Basket. c.1825-40. |
A
unusual English Bone China oval basket. Probably made at Coalport in
Shropshire in the second quarter of the 19th.Century. Moulded
to the exterior with basketweave, obviously simulating a
wicker basket. Finely painted in Sevres style with a
green ground reserving panels of exotic birds to either side.
The reserves with fine raised paste, tooled gilding to each
side. The interior with birds in flight ( some enamel
wear). The basked measures a generous 32cm. long. 22cm.
wide and also 22cm. high to the top of the handle. No
factory marks or pattern number. An unusual and very
rare item!. |
Condition
Good, with very little post manufacture damage.
The piece has several firing cracks, some disguised with
gilding. There is also a crack to the base which also probably
originates from it's firing. Thickly
potted pieces of early bone china were very susceptible to
firing cracks (shrinkage cracks ).
The decoration is in very good condition on the outside, but
some of the small painted birds on the inside are badly
worn. |

faults to the gilded rim and a small amount wear to the enamels.
