About the Item

Painted with Oriental flowers in reserve panels with gilt edge and molded with a spray of rose leaves and buds. With fretted square Worcester mark. "The moulded pattern on this dish takes its name from the blind Earl of Coventry who is traditionally believed to have taken pleasure in feeling the moulded decoration, even though he was unable to see the painted design. Although this moulding was first utilized at Worcester in the late 1750s, the hunting accident that caused the Earl of Coventry's blindness did not occur until 1780!". Literature: Spero, Simon, and Paul Macapia. Worcester Porcelain: the Klepser Collection. Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Association with Lund Humphries, 1984.
