About the Item
This gorgeous Chelsea Porcelain botanical dish was hand painted in England circa 1752-1756.
The polychrome enamels depict fruits: apples, pears, plums, melons, and, in the center, a delightful pair of cherries.
Four generous fruit clusters encircle the cherries, all interspersed with sprigs of green and turquoise leaves.
Two perfect insects, a delicate and graceful butterfly, and a charming ladybug, add a touch of whimsy to this botanical gem.
The oval rim is shaped and painted in a vibrant turquoise hue that brings out the colors of the fruit: deep red, soft pink, yellow, and blue, together with two tones of green, purple, and turquoise.
Chelsea porcelain is soft-paste porcelain with a unique and charming property.
The porcelain was made using glass frit and clay, bone ash, soapstone, flint, and quartz.
In the heat of the kiln, the glass frit pools inside, resulting in many small "moons" of glass that can be seen by holding the translucent porcelain up to an intense light
Our dish is a fine example of the high standard for taste and execution during the Red Anchor period at Chelsea.
Dimensions: 13" x 10.25" x 3" tall
Condition: Excellent

Red anchor mark to the base (see the last image).
The stand shown in the main image comes along with the dish.
Background of Chelsea Porcelain: The Chelsea factory began production in 1743.
Chelsea dominated the market for high-quality English porcelain from its beginnings in the 1740s to its decline in the 1760s.
The wares produced by the Chelsea factory between 1752 and 1756, when the usual factory mark was a small painted red anchor with each fluke double barbed, are considered among the finest examples of mid-18th century English porcelain.
Reference: The Victoria and Albert Museum in London (The V&A) holds a world-leading collection of Chelsea porcelain.
