finial, printed in black with butterflies and moths, the leaf shaped stand
enriched with puce veining and printed with further butterflies.
c. 1758
Height of tureen: 4 ins (10 cms)

Provenance: The Rous Lench Collection, Thomas Burn Esq.
Worcester made just two naturalistic tureen forms, and both during the
early 1st decade, with only the partridge being produced post 1760. The
printed decoration by no means appears on all cauliflower tureens and to
have matching decoration on all component parts, is extremely rare. This
example is illustrated in H.R. Marshall, Coloured Worcester Porcelain of
the 1st Period, pl. 45. No. 934.
