Description

A pretty Derby porcelain leaf shape pickle dish or butter boat with serrated edge and pierced "stalk" Painted with a bright underglaze blue, with a feuille de choux border and the centre with stylised leaf vine, a similar design to that found also at Worcester, and smaller surrounding sprigs. Moulded detail to the reverse. Unmarked c.1770.

It measures 8.3cm (3 1/4") wide, 9.5cm (3 3/4") long and 3.5cm (1 3/8") high.

Condition: the handle has been professionally and subtley repaired (preserving the original surface), and there has also been a carefully filled in small chip to the rim which takes some attention to find. On the reverse is a small filled rim chip and another to the edge of the sharp vein leading to the main point. A very short glaze line can be seen on the reverse to the side of the stalk.

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated this Blue and White Porcelain Pickle Dish to the 18th Century.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century English blue and white porcelain encompasses domestic tablewares produced by factories such as Derby, Bow, and Worcester, heavily influenced by Chinese export porcelain designs.

These pieces were typically crafted from soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain clay bodies, hand-painted with cobalt oxide underglaze, and fired in wood or coal-burning kilns.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic potting flaws, unglazed foot rims, slight iron specking in the glaze, and hand-painted cobalt blue decoration that shows subtle pooling under magnification.

These small decorative pieces can be displayed on plate stands within open shelving, used to hold small accessories on a dressing table, or integrated into a curated tablescape.

Antique porcelain should be washed by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, harsh abrasives, or soaking to protect the fragile glaze and body.
