Superb Dr Wall / First Period Worcester Porcelain Tea Canister c.1770

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration. It has a fine hairline at the rim which is linked to manufacture as there is a noticeable thinness to the porcelain at this point and a distinct depression in the glaze along which the line has formed. Minimal handling wear, the enamels and gilding are all lovely and bright. Below the alternating panels is a patterned blue frieze which has run a bit during firing. It is missing its original cover as is often the case but comes with a very finely turned stained wooden replacement for optional use.
