Description

A stunning Worcester porcelain circular basket with a lemon yellow enamel ground to the outside. The inside is superbly decorated with a large central floral spray and the intersections around the rim perfectly filled with very carefully painted smaller floral sprigs and a scattering of others around the lower part of the walls. The outside intersections are applied with small daisy flowers dotted with green and puce enamel. c.1768.

Reference: Worcester Porcelain, The Zorensky Collection, Spero & Sandon, plate 259 for a similar example.

It measures 19cm (7 1/2") wide and 7cm (2 3/4") high.

In excellent condition with just a single small chip to one of the flower petals just below the edge of the rim. There is a firing hairline running a short way around the edge of the base and a fine glaze line across one of the pierced wall sections (please see the later photos). No repair or restoration and minimal handling wear. A beautiful example.

FAQs

First Period Worcester refers to porcelain produced at the Worcester factory from its founding in 1751 until approximately 1783, characterized by specific paste compositions, hand-painted underglaze blue and polychrome enamels, and distinct transfer printing techniques.

These pieces were typically crafted using a soft-paste porcelain formula incorporating soapstone, which allowed for intricate pierced lattice work formed in moulds and applied relief flower details before high-temperature firing and hand enamelling.

Authenticity is determined by examining paste translucency under transmitted light, evaluating the characteristic brushwork and palette of the enamel painting, and searching for period crescent marks, square seal marks, or workmans symbols on the unglazed footrim.

Such historic ceramic items can be displayed on open shelving, within glass-fronted cabinets, or used as focal points on side tables to add texture, colour, and a sense of historical layering to modern spaces.

To preserve antique ceramics, keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent enamel fading, handle them exclusively by the base rather than delicate applied features, and clean them only by dusting with a soft, dry cloth rather than immersing in water.
