About the Item
This is a hand-painted First-Period Worcester Porcelain sugar box from the 18th century.
The lively floral design is painted in green, blue, purple, and gilt.
We see purple stems and purple flowers with gilt stamens, along with green and gilt leaves.
The cover and the inner edge of the sugar box are decorated with underglaze blue arcades that are accented with leafy sprigs of gold (see images).
The cover's button finial is painted with a blue flower outlined in gilt.
The sugar box and cover are gently lobed, which adds visual excitement as light plays over the curved surfaces.
Made in England circa 1775, this sugar box is altogether delightful!
Dimensions: 5" tall x 4.5" diameter
Condition: Excellent, with the very slightest rubbing on the gilded top edge of the body, which sits under the cover (see image #7).
Marks: On the underside is the Worcester First Period crescent in underglaze blue (see last image).
Early Worcester Porcelain marks are rarely seen—a blue crescent mark (seen here) dates pieces back to the 'First' or 'Dr Wall' period (1751-1783).
Price: $820
Background of First Period Worcester Porcelain: Worcester's First Period lasts from 1751 to 1783.
In 1751, Dr John Wall persuaded a group of 13 businessmen to invest in a new factory at Warmstry House, Worcester, England, on the banks of the River Severn.
The early wares were soft-paste porcelain with bodies that contained soaprock, commonly called soapstone in most ceramic circles.
In 1783, Thomas Flight, the concern's former London sales agent, purchased the factory for £3,000.
