A 1st period Dr. Wall
Worcester Blind Earl moulded Teapot Stand or Sucrier base, crisply moulded
in low relief with the typical leaves of the rose extending across the
piece and applied at one side with two buds extending from the branch
handle, delicately painted in puce monochrome with sprays of stylised
flowers and leaves and two oval gilt scroll moulded panels, the scalloped
edge with gilt line rim.
Circa: 1765
Diameter: 6 in (15 cms)
No marks
This rare form was used for the teapot stand prior to the use of the
hexagonal form which appears to have taken over as a generically used form
after 1765. Consequently there would have just been one of these stands
within the entire service.
A fine and rare First Period
Dr. Wall Worcester Dessert Plate, beautifully decorated in the London
atelier of James Giles with an exotic bird perched on a rocky slab amidst
vegetation, surrounded by European flowers.
Circa 1770
Diameter: 9 ins
No marks
The combination of ‘wet brush’ style painting of the bird surrounded by
this type of flowers is most unusual.
A very fine and rare 1st
Period Dr. Wall Worcester Sugar Bowl and Cover, beautifully and
naturalistically decorated with sprigs and sprays of European flowers
within gilt scrolled rococo cartouches reserved upon a blue scale ground,
the similarly decorated ogival cover with open rose finial.
c.1765-68
Height: 4 ins (10 cms)
Mark: Seal mark in underglaze blue to underside of base.
This fine piece exhibits very early floral painting for blue scale pieces,
the flowers being more akin to that style prevalent at Worcester at the
beginning of the 1760’s. The gilding is beautifully controlled and has an
unusual simple elegance afforded to it.
