A pretty Worcester porcelain dessert serving dish of squared form with deeply lobed rim and fluted walls. Painted with arrangements of ''spotted fruit''; apples, plums and a long, green fruit that looks very like a small gherkin type cucumber. Finished with a gilded rim. Unmarked, c.1775. Provenance: The Crane Collection.
It measures 20.3cm (8'') wide and 3.2cm (1 1/4'') high.
In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration and minimal handling wear. There are two sections of the rim with quite a high concentration of kiln dust spotting causing a surface roughness which the gilding doesn''t sit over as neatly as it should. It is possible there has been minor refreshment of the gilt to help even it up but I can''t be sure.
