H&R Daniel Serving Bowls

This is a stunning serving dish made by H&R Daniel in about 1827. It is made in the popular Shrewsbury shape and has a beautiful red dahlia in the centre. This dish would have belonged to a large dessert service. We have several items of this service for sale, please see second picture and separate listings. 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 potteries, 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, and Daniel items have therefore become true collectors' items. This dish is potted in the Shrewsbury Shape, which was first designed in 1826 for the Earl of Shrewsbury...
