This nineteenth-century Regency porcelain dessert plate from Worcester displays a lobed rim and a white body. The wide cobalt blue border carries gilded scrollwork and detailed gilding, framing a hand-painted central design in a stylised Kakiemon palette. Polychrome florals, a green and yellow ground, and a mythical dragon-bird complete the oriental landscape motif, painted in red, blue, green, and yellow enamels with gold leaf accents. Pattern number 1727 marks the underside, dating the piece to approximately 1830. Measuring 22.9 cm wide and 2.2 cm high, the plate serves as a decorative display piece. Placed on a sideboard top, it brings a splash of colour and historical character to a dining room or living area. A clear plastic display stand supports the piece securely in an upright position. The gloss glaze reflects light across the surface, highlighting the hand-painted details and the gilded highlights on the shaped rim.

FAQs

Chamberlain Worcester porcelain from this era is recognised for rich hand-painted enamel decoration, elaborate Orientalist and floral motifs, and cobalt blue rims highlighted with gold leaf gilding.

Plates from this period were manufactured using hybrid hard-paste or soft-paste porcelain, painted with mineral-based enamels, and detailed with applied liquid gold gilding.

Authentic pieces frequently display hand-painted or impressed factory marks, precise multi-coloured enamelling, specific pattern reference numbers, and translucent body qualities.

Display them on clear acrylic stands on a sideboard top or group them into a structured gallery wall arrangement inside a dining room or hallway.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a soft cloth, avoiding soakings, harsh chemicals, or dishwashers to prevent enamel flaking and gilding wear.
