Royal Worcester Blush Ivory Shell Dish with Gilt Edge and Floral Sprays – 1900

1900 - 1920
Description

A Royal Worcester Dish modelled as a large scallop shell. The porcelain is finished in a warm blush ivory tone with softly shaded colour that pools in the moulding. The rim is gently undulating and picked out with fine gilt, giving the piece a lifted, elegant outline.

Hand-painted floral sprays in pinks, blues, and greens are placed within the shell’s interior for a light, refined effect. A small shell-like knop and sculptural shell feet create a raised display form rather than a flat serving plate. Marked for Royal Worcester, dated 1900.

* The shell form gives this piece a naturally theatrical presence even before you notice the painting.

Measurements:

Height: 4" (approx. 10cm)

Width: 8" (approx. 20cm)

Depth: 7 1/2" (approx. 19cm)

Total weight: 370g

In good condition – The dish presents well overall with only light signs of age and handling consistent with a decorative porcelain piece. There are no chips or cracks to the porcelain.

FAQs

Blush ivory porcelain is a distinctive finish developed by the Royal Worcester porcelain factory in the late 19th century, characterised by a soft matte ivory body shaded with warm peach or pink tones and decorated with hand-painted floral motifs and gilded accents.

These dishes were cast in porcelain moulds using natural marine forms for structural inspiration, fired to form a vitreous body, and finished with layered enamel glazes, floral transfers or hand painting, and gold leaf highlights applied before a final firing.

Authentic pieces feature the standard Royal Worcester printed factory backstamp, often accompanying a date code system using dots or symbols, alongside impressed shape numbers in the porcelain paste and precise hand-gilding along the edges.

A decorative porcelain shell dish functions well as a accent on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or bedside table to hold small items while adding subtle warm colour and organic form to a contemporary room layout.

Clean gently using a dry, soft brush or a slightly dampened microfiber cloth with lukewarm water, avoiding abrasive scouring pads, detergents, and prolonged soaking, which can cause the delicate gilded rim and glaze to wear away.
