Royal Worcester Painted Fruit Cabinet Plate by Richard Sebright, 1918

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

Produced by the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company in 1918, this finely painted cabinet plate is signed by the renowned fruit painter Richard Sebright and retains the original Bonhams auction labels, providing documented auction provenance.

The central still life portrays a ripe pear, a naturally split golden plum and several gooseberries resting amongst gooseberry leaves and delicate blue forget-me-not flowers. The careful observation of botanical detail, subtle tonal transitions and luminous colouring are characteristic of Sebright's finest work.

Richard Sebright is officially recognised as the greatest fruit painter in the history of the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company. His finest signed works are regarded as museum-quality examples of Royal Worcester porcelain and have achieved record prices at major international auctions, placing them among the most desirable Painted Fruit wares ever produced by the factory.

The shaped border is finished in a deep claret ground and richly embellished with burnished hand-applied gold ornament, intricate scrolling decoration and finely executed raised paste gilding (jewelled gold) formed from individually applied gold beads. The reverse bears the official Royal Worcester factory backstamp for 1918, together with the hand-painted pattern number "W 8346" and additional factory painter's and production marks.

Dimensions:

• Diameter 22.6 cm. Height 2.5 cm. Weight 412 g

Condition:

A fine crack passes through the central painted reserve but does not extend into the richly decorated border. Apart from this, the plate remains in excellent antique condition. The gilt decoration, raised jewelled gilding, hand-painted enamels and claret ground are exceptionally well preserved, with virtually no wear.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.

FAQs

Painted fruit motifs became a signature design theme for the Royal Worcester manufactory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Specialist artists painted detailed botanical still-life compositions onto porcelain, which were then framed by elaborate gilding and produced primarily for decorative cabinet display.

These plates were crafted from translucent bone china or fine porcelain, coated with translucent glazes, and painted using mineral-based enamel pigments. The decorative rims frequently featured burnished acid-etched gold leaf and raised jewelling executed by master guilders.

Authenticity is verified through the printed Royal Worcester factory backstamp on the underside, which includes a specific system of dots and symbols indicating the year 1918. Additionally, authentic painted fruit pieces bear the hand-painted signature of the specific artist, such as Richard Sebright, within the artwork.

Decorative cabinet plates can be styled on acrylic or brass display stands positioned atop a sideboard, console, or within a glass display cabinet. They can also be mounted on a gallery wall using padded wire plate hangers to create a focal point.

Gilt porcelain should be dusted gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or an ostrich feather duster. Abrasive chemical cleaners, immersion in water, and dishwashers must be avoided, as moisture and friction can permanently erode hand-applied gold leaf and enamel painting.
