This is a rare and beautiful cake plate made by H&R Daniel in about 1825. The plate is potted in the square "Etruscan" shape and is decorated in a white ground with a beautiful floral pattern and gilt anthemion sprigs. The plate formed part of a large tea service; we also have a trio The H & R Daniel porcelain factory was founded by Henry Daniel, son of a family of master colour makers. He headed up the decoration department in the famous Spode factory where he oversaw all the beautiful early Spode decorations. In 1822 he opened his own factory with his son Richard, creating a truly iconic body of work with the most subtle colours and beautifully painted flowers and landscapes. The Daniel factory was the last true cottage industry among the English porcelain factories, resisting the increase of industrialisation and mass production. This resulted in extraordinary and unrivalled quality, but it probably also led to the factory having to close its doors in 1846 because it could no longer compete with others who did modernise. Daniel porcelain can be hard to identify as the factory was only around for about two decades, but this short duration and the low output also means that Daniel items have become true collectors' items. The plate is unmarked except the faded pattern number 3863, which points to a date of 1825. A picture of this pattern can be seen on plate 34 of Michael Berthoud and Lybne Price's "Daniel Patterns on Porcelain". CONDITION REPORT The plate is in perfect antique condition except some very light rubbing as visible in the pictures. Antique British porcelain...
