Rare Pair of Early Worcester Blue & White Porcelain Asparagus Holders c.1750s – Georgian

A beautiful and unusual pair of early Worcester porcelain asparagus holders, dating to the mid-18th century, Georgian period. Decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with charming Chinoiserie landscape scenes, featuring traditional Chinese-style architecture, intricate patterned borders and finely detailed ornamental decoration. Both pieces bear the distinctive blue crescent mark associated with the Worcester porcelain factory. These fascinating little serving pieces were designed to hold individual portions of asparagus at the Georgian dining table and are now highly collectable examples of early English porcelain. Their unusual form and decorative blue and white pattern make them particularly appealing to collectors of early Worcester and 18th-century English ceramics.
