First Period Worcester Blue and White Desert Dish in Gillyflower ptn, Ca 1770

About the Item

This is a very good early, First period (Dr. Wall), Worcester porcelain open Desert Dish in a deep cobalt blue floral pattern with a Crescent mark to the base. dating to 1765 to 1770. This is a well potted moulded piece with a wavy edge and basket weave border to the upper inner rim. The Dish is decorated in a deep cobalt blue floral pattern called the Gillyflower pattern which is an old English name adapted from the French with a central carnation or pink, surrounded by six smaller sprigs and a butterfly on the outer sides of the dish. The pattern derives from the French Chantilly designs. Derby made a very similar pattern which was then copied by Caughley and Coalport. The base has the shaded Worcester crescent mark painted in blue. This is a rarer Worcester pattern. Please see illustrations for similar pieces, in the book; Caughley & Worcester Porcelains 1775-1800 by Geoffrey A Godden. The pattern is described and shown in the book by Henry Sandon; The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain, Volume 1, 1751 to 1851.
