  • Four Antique English Porcelain Shell Shaped Dishes Made circa 1810
    By Miles Mason Porcelain
    Located in Katonah, NY
    WHY WE LOVE IT: The founder of Bardith, Edith Wolf, always said, "Miles Mason never made a piece of porcelain that wasn't beautiful." This group of four shell-shaped dishes was made in the Regency period, circa 1810. Like many of Miles Mason's best designs, this pattern has flair. It is one of his finest patterns. The two pairs of dishes are fully painted with pink and orange flowers with green leaves. The unexpected combination of pink with orange highlighted with green makes this a gorgeous pattern. Placed in a cabinet or on a wall, these dishes will make an entire room come alive. Dimensions: 8.5" tall x 8" wide Condition: Excellent Price: $620 for the group For an image of a dish in this pattern, see R Haggar and E Adams: "Mason Porcelain and Ironstone 1796-1853, fig 85. For more information on a variety of Miles Mason's patterns, see "Miles Mason Porcelain a Guide to Patterns and Shapes" by D. S. Skinner and V. Young and the Stoke-on Trent City Museum. Background of Miles Mason In 1796 Miles Mason entered into a partnership with the experienced porcelain manufacturer Thomas Wolfe...
