Coalport Porcelain Botanical Plates, Set of Twelve, John Rose, 1820 English, Circa 1820 The set of twelve Coalport porcelain plates was made at John Rose’s factory at Coalport, Shropshire, each center painted with a different group of garden flowers. Across the set the groups include auriculas, ranunculus, poppies, a hyacinth, pansies, a flamed parrot tulip, crocuses, chrysanthemums, China asters and a wild rose, freely composed in the Continental manner rather than copied as named botanical specimens, so that no two plates repeat. Each center is framed by an underglaze cobalt blue border gilded with a trailing fruiting grapevine, its leaves, tendrils and small bunches of grapes reserved in gold against the deep blue ground, with a wavy gilt line following the inner edge of the blue band and a fine gilt line encircling the well. The gadrooned rim is gilt and relieved at intervals by small molded scroll-and-shell thumbpieces picked out in gold. The reverses are plain. Dimensions: Diameter: 9½ inches (24.1 cm) Marks: Unmarked, as is usual for Coalport porcelain of this period. Provenance: Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge Condition: Good overall, one plate with a hairline.
