John Ridgway Hand Painted Dessert Set

19th century
Description

A beautiful antique dessert set by John Ridgway dating from the early to mid 1800s. There are 8 dessert plates, a large comport, 2 oval footed serving dishes and 2 rectangular serving dishes. Each piece is decorated with hand painted flowers surrounded by beige borders with gilt highlights. It is a good quality set with beautifully shaped borders and pierced cut out details. Every piece has the John Ridgway backstamp.

The whole set is in good condition for its age. There are a few small chips on the back of a couple of plates and there has been a repair to the foot of the comport (see photo) but the set still displays beautifully. There are some light surface marks and some wear to the gilding in places but nothing detrimental.

Approximate Measurements :

Diameter of Plate : 8 3/4" / 22cm

Height of Comport : 8" / 20cm

Width of Comport : 13" / 33cm

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Dessert services were specialised dining sets produced primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, designed specifically for serving fruit, sweetmeats, and cakes following the main dinner course.

These sets were typically crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain, featuring hand-painted botanical enamels, applied gilding, and molded details such as reticulated or scroll handles.

Authentic pieces frequently feature painted pattern numbers on the underside, distinctive Rococo Revival scroll moldings, fine hand-enamelled floral decoration, and rich painted ground borders.

Individual plates and footed comports can be styled inside a glazed display cabinet, mounted on wall brackets, or arranged centrally on a sideboard as elevated table decoration.

Hand wash gently in tepid water using mild liquid soap and a non-abrasive cloth, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, and soaking, which can wear away surface gilding.
