Coalport Plate, Marquis of Anglesey Service, circa 1820

About the Item

This is a beautiful and very rare deep plate made by Coalport in circa 1820. It is in a simple shape and painted in the "Marquis of Anglesey" pattern. Coalport was one of the leading potters in 19th-20th century, coming out with many innovative designs. The pottery emerged around the year 1800 in Shropshire, right on the edge of Staffordshire and near other great makers such as Spode, Minton, Davenport and many others. They went on to become a major potter in the 19th century and brought out many iconic designs. The Welsh Nantgarw factory first created the heavily gilded service for the Marquis of Anglesey with beautifully painted flowers. Later the Swansea factory made additions to or copies of this service and circa 1820 Coalport added more items. We can tell by the porcelain body that this plate is by Coalport, it has the very white, simple and slightly uneven porcelain and glaze that Coalport used at the time and it does not look or feel like the Welsh porcelain or glaze. The pattern is exactly the same as the Welsh version, except that there is an extra chain-patterned band around the outer rim, which the original service lacks, and the flowers are painted by a different hand, possibly by one of the London studios that Coalport outsourced their decorations to. The plate is entirely unmarked. Condition report: The plate is in excellent antique condition with no damage, crazing or repairs. It has only very light wear, which can be seen in the pictures, mainly some stacking wear around the centre of the plate. Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account. There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1 mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye, a glazing line is a break in the glazing only, hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera, I try to be as accurate as I can. Dimensions: 21.5 cm (8.5") diameter and 3 cm (1.25") high.
