Ritas Bazaar has dated this Royal Worcester Cabinet Plate to the 1930s.
This unusually luminous treatment differs from the darker mossy grounds associated with many Royal Worcester fruit studies and gives greater prominence to Sebright's precise modelling and subtle colour transitions.
Richard Sebright is officially recognised as the greatest fruit painter in Royal Worcester's history. His signed works are regarded as museum-quality examples of English porcelain and remain among the most valuable productions within the factory's Painted Fruit tradition.
The deep underglaze cobalt blue border is richly decorated with hand-applied burnished gold ornament, scrolling foliage, oval medallions and refined neoclassical motifs. The reverse bears the Royal Worcester factory backstamp and the original hand-painted workman's mark "Z 21".
Dimensions:
• Diameter 26.4 cm. Height 2 cm. Weight 590 g
Condition:
Excellent original cabinet condition. Fine age-related craquelure is present within the enamel of the central painted reserve. Minor wear is visible to the gilt foot rim on the reverse. Examined under UV light, no evidence of restoration, repairs, chips or cracks was detected. The fruit painting, enamels, cobalt blue ground and gilt decoration on the face remain in excellent original condition.
