AN IMPORTANT LUNDS BRISTOL SAUCEBOAT C1750.

This is the RAREST porcelain sauceboat you are ever likely to see. This piece was made at the Lunds Bristol factory c1750 by Benjamin Lund and I have full verification and proof of this statement. The rare sauceboat is decorated with chinoserie subjects to both sides of the sauce boat and has all the typical Lund's features of the very first pieces that were made by this factory "Note the childlike decoration of the underglaze blue chinese figures" similar pieces are illustrated by Geofrey Godden, as most of you will know The Lunds factory was bought out by Dr John Wall Worcester porcelain in c1752 so Lunds Bristol only ran for an incredibly short period of time. Over the years I have seen many pieces of early Worcester on ebay that have had attributions to the Lunds Bristol porcelain factory, as pieces from this factory are exceptionally rare and incredibly desirable. This piece comes out of a very important collection of english blue/white porcelain and full details will be given to my buyer. This sauce boat really belongs in a Museum and to own an item like this is every english porcelain collectors dream. The piece measures 7 1/2 inches long and approx 2 1/2 inches high. Simon Spero (2005), p 76, pl 6, illustrates a sauceboat of related shape but with moulded cartouche panels from the Lunds Factory..

FINE DR WALL WORCESTER Kakiemon plate, C.1770.

A VERY FINE First Period Worcester KAKIEMON, Sir Joshua Reynolds pattern dish. C.1770. Provenance:- M.H.STIEGLITZ COLLECTION, no.34, other references, and marked with the unusual factory 'W' for Worcester. CONDITION:- SUPERB, with no chips, cracks, restoration, or rubbing to gilding or those beautiful emamels. The cleanest example I have ever seen. There was an example like this plate that a good dealer was offering on ebay recently, that had quite a lot of rubbing to the enamels and gilding, scratches, and also a chip and a hairline crack on it. They were asking £785, so I am setting a very realistic price for a better example. References: see R.L. Hobson, Worcester Porcelain, 1910.(Quaritch) for a section discussing this design, Kakiemon influences, and the Ho Ho bird. See plate XXXIV for illustrations. The Ho Ho birds are also found on Chelsea and Chantilly porcelain.
