Description
A fine and rare Derby porcelain blue and white hand painted cream / sauce tureen and cover, of lobed quatrefoil shape. The knop formed as a cherry and moulded leaves and stem. A charming Chinoiserie design with an ornate scene of a pagoda set on a shoreline, surrounded by stylized trees and shrubs with phoenix type birds in the sky. Both sides with the same design and intersected on the short sides with sprays of peonies. Matching peony sprays decorate the cover and a single peony also inside the base. Both rims edged with a cell border. Unmarked, c.1768.
Reference: Ceramics Of Derbyshire, Bradley, entry 205 for a tureen of this shape and design.
measurements
It measures 16.5cm (6 1/2") by 13.7cm (5 3/8") wide and 11.2cm (4 1/2") high.
declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Superb Derby Porcelain Blue & White Quatrefoil Sauce Tureen & Cover c.1768 (LA581512) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1768
condition
In excellent condition with just a couple of minor points: the tip of one side of the cherry stem knop has been lost and two small nibble chips to the rim of the tureen. A small firing fault to the edge of the cover where the glaze didn't take but it was decorated with the cell border so it is more felt than seen. This area is closely photographed.
No other damage, repair or restoration and minimal handling wear. Some areas of the cell border on the tureen are quite faint but this is underglaze and original from production, not surface wear. Very slight bleeding of the design in places but this is a common issue with Derby blue and white porcelain.
