Dr Wall First Period Worcester Sugar Box England Circa 1775
About the Item
This 18th-century First Period Worcester Porcelain sugar box was hand painted featuring beautiful swags painted with green leaves, purple berries, and two-tone blue and yellow apples.
Each swag is tied with a purple ribbon in an elegant bow. Green leaves and two-tone plums hang from each ribbon.
The cover finial is crafted as a budding rose painted in gorgeous pinkish purple and yellow with two green leaves.
The sugar box's border and cover are both adorned with a band of underglaze blue and a chain of golden ribbons
and are gently lobed, which adds visual excitement as light plays over the curved surfaces.
Made in England circa 1775, this sugar box is a gem!
Dimensions: 5" tall x 4.5" diameter
Condition: Excellent
Marks: On the underside is the Worcester First Period crescent in underglaze blue (see last image).
Early Worcester Porcelain marks are rarely seen—a blue crescent mark (seen here) dates pieces back to the 'First' or 'Dr Wall' period (1751-1783).
Price: $1,620
Background of First Period Worcester Porcelain: Worcester's First Period lasts from 1751 to 1783. In 1751, Dr John Wall persuaded a group of 13 businessmen to invest in a new factory at Warmstry House, Worcester, England, on the banks of the River Severn. The early wares were soft-paste porcelain with bodies that contained soaprock, commonly called soapstone in most ceramic circles.
In 1783, Thomas Flight, the concern's former London sales agent, purchased the factory for £3,000.
