This Royal Worcester painted fruit pot pourri vase and cover originates from the 1950 period and bears a signature by Wm Roberts alongside a date code. The rounded bone china body carries hand-painted polychrome fruit decoration featuring peaches, grapes, and plums against a shaded background, complemented by white floral enamel accents. Relief gilding frames the painted panels in ornate gold leaf arches, matching the solid gold finish of the shoulder, the pierced domed lid, and the flame finial atop the cover. The underside sits on a circular gilded base, and the entire piece displays clean surfaces free of chips or cracks. Measuring 12 cm high, 8.5 cm wide, and 8.5 cm deep, this lidded urn suits display upon a mantelpiece, sideboard, or occasional table in an English Country house interior. Collectors of mid-century British ceramics place such decorative vessels in living rooms or studies to showcase traditional hand-painted fruit motifs under ambient indoor lighting.

FAQs

First developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these vessels were designed to hold fragrant dried flora, featuring detailed hand-painted still-life fruit studies framed by gilded relief accents and pierced covers.

These pieces are constructed from bone china or soft-paste porcelain, painted by hand with specialized ceramic pigments, fired multiple times to build depth, and finished with burnished gold gilt detailing.

Authentic examples feature printed factory backstamps indicating the maker and production era, artist signatures integrated within the fruit artwork, and precision hand-gilding along raised borders and pierced lids.

Position the object on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or within an illuminated display cabinet to highlight the gilded detailing and vibrant polychrome artwork against neutral or dark backdrops.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, abrasive chemicals, and immersion in water to protect the hand-painted enamel and surface gilding.
