Description

A Chamberlain & Co Worcester Porcelain Vase with a view of Buckingham Palace c.1845.

The finely painted view is copied from an engraving by Thomas Higham c.1835 showing the original façade of Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch, which was later dismantled and rebuilt at Cumberland Gate, serving as a grand entrance to Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

FAQs

Early Victorian Chamberlain Worcester porcelain is distinguished by elaborate gilding, vibrant cobalt grounds, and detailed hand-painted topographical or floral reserves produced during the mid-nineteenth century in Worcester, England.

These decorative vessels were slip-cast or hand-thrown from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain body, fired, coated in lead glaze, and then detailed with hand-applied enamel painting and mercury-gilding before final low-temperature firings.

Authentic pieces often feature impressed or painted manufacturer marks under the base, high-quality burnished gilding, intricate hand-painted vignettes with fine brushwork, and characteristic campana or urn shapes of the period.

A decorative porcelain urn functions as a focal point when placed atop a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard, contrasting effectively against contemporary minimalist or traditional classical backdrops.

Dust gently with a clean, soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding water immersion, chemical detergents, or abrasive rubbing which can wear away delicate surface gilding and enamel paintwork.
