Stunning Rare First Period Worcester Porcelain Kakiemon & Cailloute Leaf Dish C.1770

18th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A truly stunning very large Worcester porcelain double leaf moulded dessert dish with a scale blue ground over gilded with a cailloute pebbled pattern. The centre with a circular reserve and surrounded by alternating vase and mirror shaped reserves and further reserved areas around the rim. Painted in a fantasy oriental kakiemon style, the three mirror reserves are painted with fancy birds amongst exotic flowers in gardens. The other reserves are all painted with a variety of exotic flowering plants, all embellished with gilt highlights. Finished with a gilt rim. Hatched square mark to the reverse, c.1770.

Reference: An example illustrated in Marshall, entry 154. Similarly decorated to the garniture of vases in plate 331 of the Worcester Porcelain, The Zorensky Collection, Spero, with the same cailloute decorated blue ground and larger images of fancy birds in landscapes.

It measures 31.8cm (12 1/2") long, 24.4cm (9 5/8") wide and 7.4cm (2 7/8") high.

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration. Two small enamel flakes lost from the green leaves in the central reserve, but otherwise minimal handling wear. A superb example.

FAQs

First Period Worcester porcelain, produced between 1751 and 1783 during the Dr Wall era, is renowned for its soft-paste porcelain body, underglaze blue decorations, and intricate enamelled patterns inspired by Japanese Kakiemon and French Sevres designs.

Eighteenth-century English manufacturers used soft-paste porcelain, incorporating soapstone or bone ash to enhance durability, hand-painted mineral-based enamels, and mercury gilding for decorative rims and reserves.

Authentic pieces often feature a characteristic greenish translucency when held to light, underglaze blue factory marks such as the fretted square or crescent, and precise hand-gilded or enamelled details.

These decorative ceramics make effective accent pieces when displayed on custom plate stands within glass cabinets, styled flat on sideboard tops, or mounted on gallery walls to add historic colour and pattern.

Dust gently with a soft, clean microfibre cloth or soft brush. Avoid soaking, hot water, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these can strip overglaze enamel and delicate gilding.
