A Rare First Period Worcester
'Strawberry dish'. c.1765-70 |
| A
Worcester soft paste ( Steatite ) porcelain pierced dessert
dish with applied twig and floral handles. It's original
purpose is uncertain, but it is thought these dishes may have
been made to hold Strawberries. Moulded in the Rococo
style of the period and carefully pieced while the porcelain
was still soft. After the initial firing, the dish was
skilfully painted in polychrome enamels with typical
Worcester factory flowers. After probably several firings to
harden the different enamel colours, the rich Worcester
gilding was added and the dish fired yet again. It
measures 27.8cm. long including handles, 22cm. across
and 6.5cm. high. It has no factory mark. |
Condition
Good, but inevitably some damage.
The one handle appears to have been restored, there are loses
to the petals of the applied flowers and there are a couple of
short cracks from the rim, quite likely from the several
firings during manufacture. The decoration is in very
good condition with minimal loses. There is also some fairly
typical speckling to the glaze. |
