pendant from the gold scrolled border, consisting of panels of puce diaper

The Earl Manvers pattern. One of the most beautiful Sèvres-inspired
patterns executed at Worcester. The Worcester factory excelled at the use
of highly fashionable European-inspired patterns and the way that they
successfully imbued them in their own individual way of expression, is the
measure of their success. A service of this pattern was owned by Charles
Meadows, 3rd Duke of Kingston and Earl Manvers, by which name the pattern
has now come to be known. See H.R. Marshall, Coloured Worcester Porcelain
of the First Period, pl. 15 no. 258. The variation of clarity differs
greatly with examples of this pattern, the present example is jewel-like.
An exceptional 1st Period Dr. Wall Worcester square-shaped Dessert Dish,
beautifully painted in the London atelier of James Giles with a full
central spray of European flowers within a chocolate brown line border
entwined with green leaves and a gold dentil rim.
Circa: 1770
Length: 9 ½ inches (24.5 cms)
The leaf border can be compared with a spoon tray in the Coke Collection
at the Dyson Perrins Museum, Worcester. See Gerald Coke “In Search of
James Giles”, pl.4, p.176 together with two different services with
neo-classical urn decoration pl. 27, p.199.
