Near Pair of Baluster Shape Vases, Chelsea, circa 1755

About the Item

Baluster shaped vase in soft paste porcelain with early gilt line decoration. Superb flower painting. The shapes are very close, and the gilding is slightly more elaborate on the second vase, which probably about a year later than the first, when they were becoming more confident of gilding. Gilding was one of the few tasks given to women at Chelsea at the time. Chelsea porcelain is particularly known for its delicate flower painting, which are characterized by intricate and highly detailed depictions of flowers and other botanical specimens. These paintings were typically done in enamel colors and fired onto the surface of the porcelain, creating a vibrant, permanent image. The flower paintings on Chelsea Porcelain are considered to be some of the finest examples of porcelain art from the 18th century and are highly sought after by collectors and museums today.

Large Dish, Chelsea, circa 1755
By Chelsea Porcelain
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
A large platter, probably once associated with tureen. Beautiful flower painting, possible done outside the factory at the Giles studio in London, or perhaps at the Chelsea studio by a painter who had previously worked there. The tulip, heartease, and others look very Giles. One of the most distinctive features of Chelsea porcelain is its intricate floral painting, which often featured detailed, lifelike renditions of flowers and other botanical subjects. The factory employed skilled artists who were trained in the art of flower...

Chelsea Porcelain Frill Vase with Birds, Rococo ca 1760
By Chelsea Porcelain
Located in London, GB
This is a charming frill vase made by the Chelsea Porcelain factory in about 1760. The vase is in the Rococo style and it speaks for itself why this style of vase is called a "frill" vase. This vase has undergone restorations (although it still holds water perfectly) and is therefore offered As Found (A/F) at a reduced price.
