This Georgian Regency dessert plate is made from porcelain decorated with a cobalt blue glaze, enamel hand-painted floral cartouches, and gold leaf scroll gilding. The scalloped rim features a melting snow border, framing a central circular medallion with a hand-painted floral bouquet surrounded by rich cobalt ground panels and white reserves. The piece exhibits bright white, pink, orange, purple, and green enamels alongside heavy burnished gold detailing, with minimal wear visible on the gilt surface. Measuring roughly 22 cm across, the plate serves as a decorative display piece on a sideboard top in a dining room or living area today.

FAQs

Regency porcelain from the early nineteenth century is recognised for its refined bone china bodies, opulent gilding, and rich ground colours such as cobalt blue, apple green, and claret. Manufacturers frequently incorporated classical, rococo, and botanical hand-painted reserves to suit the lavish dining tastes of the Georgian upper classes.

Plates were shaped using press-moulding or slip-casting techniques, followed by an initial firing to create biscuit porcelain. Cobalt ground colours were applied and glazed before skilled porcelain painters added floral vignettes using mineral-based enamels, concluding with hand-applied mercury gilding that was burnished after the final firing.

Authentic pieces often feature painted pattern numbers on the underside, typically in red, gold, or green glaze. Look for high-translucency bone china, finely detailed hand-painted botanical decoration, precise hand gilding, and period-appropriate wear along the foot rim.

Incorporate antique porcelain into contemporary interiors by displaying the piece upright on a plate stand atop a sideboard or within a glazed cabinet. Grouping cobalt porcelain with brass accents or neutral backdrop tones allows the rich colours and gilding to serve as a focal point.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, wiping softly with a non-abrasive microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking, dishwasher cleaning, chemical polish, or abrasive pads, as these will permanently wear away the delicate hand-applied gilding and enamel paintwork.
