About the Item

This is a beautiful porcelain shell dish or plate hand painted and gilded in pattern 129, made by the Derby factory, in the reign of George 111 in the early 19th century, circa 1810. Shell dishes, named as such for taking the shape of a shell were used in Dessert services. This dish has been exquisitely hand decorated in a French influenced "Chantilly" pattern ( No. 129) consisting of scattered sprigs of cornflowers in pink, blue and green with gilt leaves and with further rich hand gilding around the rim and handle section. The dish has the early Derby Crown and cross batons mark, in red to the base, together with the "D" below. There is also a number "15" to the side of the base which will be the painter or gilders mark. Similar shaped Derby shell dishes, one with the same handle gilding, are illustrated on page 232 of the reference book - Derby Porcelain by John Twitchett, published by the Antique Collectors Club. We date this dish to circa 1810. A beautiful and very decorative dish.
