An exceptionally fine First
period Dr Wall Worcester Yellow Ground Junket dish, the beautifully
crisply moulded yellow basketweave ground with three ogival puce scrolled
floral reserves surrounding a central circular floral panel, the lobed rim
with a puce scrolled and yellow bordered floral band with further ogival
panels containing sprigs of flowers.
Circa 1760-1765
Diameter: 9ins (23 cms)
No Mark
Although the yellow ground was in use by at least 1758, the year in which
the 14th Countess of Eroll died, see H R Marshall “Coloured Worcester
Porcelain of the First Period” pl 29 No. 652 for the mask jug bearing her
arms, this junket dish, with its darker puce enrichment and strong shading
to the European flowers, can be compared with the type of decoration found
on hexagonal geranium moulded creamboats and datable to between 1760-65.
