Ceramic Bowls and Baskets

During the 18th century, Europeans provided an eager market for Chinese export porcelain, especially the colorful and fanciful ware known as “famille rose.” Named for a palette of opaque overglaze enamels that favored roses and pinks, famille rose porcelain ware was crafted with the same technical virtuosity as imperial porcelain but designed for Western tastes. This pair of fine porcelain dishes is a beautiful example of famille rose, decorated with pastel enamels in a palette of purple, turquoise, and pink. The center of each plate is decorated with a calm scene of a woman and a young boy in a garden, surrounded by flowering plum branches and lingzhi fungi of immortality. The scene is bordered by an all-over purple fish...

British 1810-1820 Clobbered wares deserve better as they are historically very interesting. So lets call them George the IV or Regency Taste redecorated porcelain. And leave the clobbered behind us as it does no justice to what they are at all. Its not that because we live in a time were these super funky colours are out of taste that we should hate on these pieces. A short history! During the early 19th century, the Prince Regent (later King George IV) played a key role in cultivating a taste for the exotic Orient among the British elite, influencing interior design during the Regency era. His lavish projects, such as the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, epitomized this fascination. The Pavilion, with its blend of Indian, Chinese, and Gothic elements, became a symbol of the Prince’s extravagant taste. The interiors featured Chinese wallpaper, Indian textiles, and oriental furniture, reflecting the era’s growing interest in Chinoiserie and other oriental-inspired designs. This trend extended to the decorative arts, where clobbered Chinese porcelain—originally blue-and-white pieces—was reimagined with bright reds, golds, greens, and dragons to cater to the new European tastes. These colorful repainted pieces symbolized wealth, sophistication, and an affinity for the exotic, perfectly complementing the bold and opulent interiors of the time. The dragon, a powerful symbol in Chinese culture, was a recurring motif in these porcelain pieces, further aligning with the Regency’s romanticized view of the Orient. George IV’s penchant for luxury, eccentricity, and vibrant decoration influenced the wider aristocratic society, and clobbered porcelain...

A refined Wedgwood blue jasperware small dish, showcasing the iconic matte blue ground with crisp applied white neoclassical relief, one of Wedgwood’s most enduring and collectible designs. This dish features a softly scalloped rim with radiating fluted detail and a braided border of wheat, framing a central classical scene rendered in high relief. The central image depicts classical female figures accompanied by a winged cherub, drawn from Greco-Roman mythology and emblematic of Wedgwood’s close collaboration with John Flaxman in the late 18th century. These scenes were designed to evoke ideals of harmony, virtue, love, and beauty—core themes of the Neoclassical movement that defined Wedgwood’s artistic legacy. The reverse is impressed “WEDGWOOD / MADE IN ENGLAND”, confirming authentic English manufacture. The dish is finely proportioned and well-balanced, making it both decorative and functional. This piece works beautifully as a ring dish, trinket dish, or small catchall, and is an excellent example of classic Wedgwood jasperware craftsmanship. Details: Maker: Wedgwood Material: Jasperware Color: Wedgwood blue with white relief Decoration: Classical figural scene with cherub, after John Flaxman designs Mark: Impressed “WEDGWOOD / MADE IN ENGLAND” Origin: England Date: 20th century Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age; no chips or cracks observed About the Imagery: The figural relief reflects Wedgwood’s neoclassical vocabulary inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. Designs of draped figures and cherubs were often adapted from John Flaxman (1755–1826), whose work became synonymous with Wedgwood’s intellectual and artistic identity. Such imagery symbolized idealized femininity, affection, and classical virtue—timeless motifs that continue to resonate with collectors. Styling Ideas Use as a ring or jewelry dish on a bedside table or vanity. Style on a desk or console as a refined catchall for keys or small objects. .Layer with books, intaglios, and framed engravings for a collected English look Pair with other Wedgwood jasperware plates...
