Royal Worcester Albert Shuck Signed Fruit Cabinet Plate, 1928

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

Produced by the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company in 1928, this fine cabinet plate is hand-painted and signed by the accomplished factory artist Albert Shuck. The underside retains the original Bonhams auction labels, providing documented auction provenance.

The richly decorated cobalt blue border is enhanced with burnished hand-applied gold ornament and finely executed raised jewelled (pearl) gilding, framing the beautifully painted fruit study.

The central reserve depicts two ripe pears and a cluster of dark grapes amongst delicate flowering sprays. The careful tonal modelling and naturalistic composition reflect the high standards for which Royal Worcester fruit painters became internationally celebrated.

Albert Shuck (1880-1961) belonged to the distinguished generation of Royal Worcester artists who brought the factory's painted-fruit department to international prominence during the 1920s and 1930s. Specialising in fruit, orchids and flowers, he remains one of the recognised names of the classic Worcester school, with signed cabinet plates continuing to enjoy strong collector demand.

The underside bears the authentic puce Royal Worcester crowned factory mark with the date code for 1928, together with the hand-painted pattern number W8346 and additional factory production marks.

Dimensions:

• Weight 431 g. Diameter 23 cm. Height 2.2 cm

Condition:

One branching hairline crack, clearly visible from the reverse and only faintly visible from the front. Otherwise in excellent antique condition with virtually complete preservation of the original gilding, enamels and hand-painted decoration.

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

Cabinet plates are decorative porcelain pieces designed primarily for display in china cabinets or on walls rather than for functional dining. Produced by Royal Worcester in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these plates often feature elaborate hand-painted still life motifs, extensive gilding, and intricate border patterns.

Craftsmen utilised translucent bone china or fine porcelain, applying multiple layers of hand-painted enamel pigments that required repeated firings in a kiln. The ornate borders were finished with liquid gold gilding, often raised or jewelled, and hand-burnished to create a lustrous metallic surface.

Look for the official Royal Worcester printed factory mark on the reverse, often featuring a crown and number code that indicates the year of manufacture. Authentic pieces are typically signed by renowned artist decorators, such as Albert Shuck or Richard Sebright, near the edge of the central artwork.

Position the plate on a clear acrylic or brass display stand atop a sideboard, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to showcase the hand-painted details. Alternatively, arrange a grouping of decorative porcelain plates on a gallery wall to create a focal point in a formal dining room or hallway.

Gently wipe the surface with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or an ostrich feather duster to remove surface dust. Avoid immersion in water, harsh detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as moisture and chemicals can degrade the delicate hand-painted enamels and gold leaf gilding.
