Rare Attractive Caughley Dessert Dish - Scholars Rock Pattern C.1775

18th century
For Sale by DLS Antiques
Description

For offer is a delightful 18th Century Caughley porcelain dessert dish.

Circa 1775

The dish is of an attractive lobed circular shape and is painted in blue with the 'Scholars Rock' pattern.

In very good condition with only a little minor wear to the outer rim.

Caughley Porcelain

From around 1775 to 1799, at Caughley near Broseley in Shropshire, England, Ambrose Gallimore and Thomas Turner produced some of the finest soft-paste porcelain made in England in the 18th century. Many shapes and patterns were produced, in the main useful wares: tea services, dinner services, and everyday objects that would be used in the households of the then-emerging middle classes. The porcelain was decorated largely in underglaze blue, although enamel colours and gilding were also used. Today, Caughley porcelain is highly collectable and much sought after.

Caughley porcelain refers to soft-paste ceramic wares produced at the Caughley factory in Shropshire, England, between 1775 and 1799. The manufactory was particularly renowned for its high-quality underglaze blue transfer printing and hand-painted Chinoiserie patterns.

Eighteenth-century soft-paste porcelain was produced using a mixture of white clay, crushed glass or frit, and soapstone to lower firing temperatures. This composition resulted in a translucent, warm body with a distinctively soft glaze that absorbed underglaze cobalt blue pigments.

Authentic pieces often display a translucent warm white body when held to light, alongside characteristic underglaze cobalt blue decoration. Factory marks, including painted or printed capital letters such as C or pseudo-Chinese marks, were frequently applied to the base.

Blue and white porcelain can be displayed on a sideboard top, arranged within a glazed cabinet, or mounted on a wall to create an artistic focal point. Pairing these ceramics with natural wood tones or modern minimalist shelving creates a balanced visual contrast.

Soft-paste porcelain should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives or automated dishwashers. Items with historic repairs or gilding should be dusted with a soft microfiber cloth rather than submerged.
