About the Item

A pair of plates in ‘Warren Hastings’ shape, with fine rococo moulding, decorated by Jefferyes Hamett O'Neale with geese and other birds to the reserves; typical sprays and sprigs to the wells. The name for this shape comes from a famous set: Among the more famous of the Chelsea patterns of dinner service are the Warren Hastings and the Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The former is so called because a set was sold with that remarkable man's effects at Daylesford House in 1818. The pattern is described as having the border moulded into three panels of scroll-work separated by a diaper pattern in low relief; these are painted in colours.  In each of the panels a landscape is carefully painted. The centre of the pieces shows a bouquet and detached flowers. The Mecklenburg-Strelitz is equally sought for by those interested in old Chelsea. - Chelsea and Chelsea-Derby China, Egan Mew, 1910. The Hastings name has also become attached to the shape, which is also found with fables or birds in the panels, painted by Jefferyes Hamett O'Neale. See plate 71, Jefferyes Hamett O'Neale, by Hanscombe for another example. See Mckenna 'Chelsea Porcelain, The Red Anchor Wares', plate 22, No. 45.

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.
