A Rare Chamberlain Worcester Porcelain Pastille Burner C.1807 - 1811

18th century
Description

A rare Chamberlains Worcester Porcelain Pastille Burner c.1807 – 1811. The globular bowl supported by three gilt dolphins on a triangular base, richly decorated with a vibrant orange ground and gilt netting. The bowl very finely decorated with naturalistically painted feathers. 

Rare mark in red script ‘Chamberlains Worcester Manufacturer to their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and Duke of Cumberland.’ In 1807 the Chamberlain firm was appointed manufacturer to the Prince of Wales and from 1811 the Prince was appointed Regent. This mark was therefore only used during the brief period of 1807 to 1811. A similar pastille burner is illustrated by Geoffrey Golden on page 272 of his book on Chamberlain Worcester where he notes 'A marked Chamberlain Worcester pastille burner, perhaps the ''Dolphin pastille, feathers £2 2s. 0d.'' as invoiced in August 1815.'

Condition: Some minor chips to the base restored. A small amount of crazing to the glaze on the underside where the mark is situated. Minor retouching to feathers. There would have originally have been a pierced lid. 

Height: 14 cm

Length of base: 14 cm

Width of base: 14 cm 

Diameter of bowl: 10 cm 

Declaration

Fine Antique English Porcelain has dated this Regency Porcelain Pastille Burner to the Georgian era.

Pastille burners, also known as cassolettes, were introduced in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to hold burning aromatic pastilles, masking unpleasant household odours prior to modern sanitation.

Pieces from this period were crafted from soft-paste or hybrid porcelain bodies, decorated with hand-applied enamel colours and finished with mercury gilding.

Authentic items often feature specific hand-written script marks on the base, exact gilt finishings, classical subject motifs, and precise hand-painted enamelling typical of the Worcester workshops.

A pastille burner serves as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, bedside table, or within a curio cabinet paired with vintage books and architectural elements.

Dust the item gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush, and avoid submersion in water or using abrasive chemicals that can erode delicate gilding and enamel paintwork.
