Set Antique Porcelain Dishes in Coalport's Red Chrysanthemum Pattern circa 1810

About the Item

We are pleased to offer this set of 12 antique porcelain dishes painted in Coalport's "Red Chrysanthemum" pattern, England, circa 1810. The dishes are covered with exquisite red chrysanthemums and gilded leaves in a swirling ornamental pattern (see image #2). This early 19th century, English pattern was inspired by similar Chinese patterns of the 18th century. In Chinese lore, chrysanthemums represent a happy life. Having chrysanthemums was also thought to prolong life. Therefore, these dishes have a benevolent motif of happiness and well-being. The rim of each dish has rich golden English gilding. The body of the Coalport porcelain is whiter than the Chinese porcelain, which creates a striking contrast with the red flowers. This group would be wonderful in a cabinet or arranged on a wall. The set comprises:; -3 square dishes, a pair and a single dish: $750 each, L 7.75 in. x W 7.75 in. x H 1.88 in. -rectangular serving dish: $400, L 9.5 in. x W 8.25 in. x H 1.88 in. -3 pairs of oval dishes (6 total): $980 per pair, L 11 in. x W 7.5 in. x H 1.75 in. -3 shell shaped dishes, a pair and a single: $750 each, L 8 in. x W 7.75 in. x H 1.88 in. -a fruit compote: $1,500, L 12.25 in. x W 8.25 in. x H 2.88 in.

(24 pieces) $15,915 for the complete set. Condition: Excellent Background of Coalport: The Coalport Porcelain manufactory was founded by John Rose in 1795. Rose had trained at the Caughley Porcelain manufactory in Shropshire and had been making his own pottery nearby at Jackfield since about 1780. His rapid success enabled him to buy the Caughley manufactory in 1799, the Nantgarw porcelain manufactory in 1819 and the Swansea Porcelain manufactory, with their repertory of molds. He employed the talented William Billingsley, formerly at Nantgarw, as chief painter, and Billingsley’s chemist, Walker, who initiated at Coalport a maroon glaze and brought the Nantgarw technical recipes to Coalport. History of Crysanthemums: In both the East and the West, chrysanthemums are a symbol of the autumn. Chrysanthemums entered American horticulture in 1798 when Colonel John Stevens imported a cultivated variety known as 'Dark Purple' from England. The introduction was part of an effort to grow attractions within Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey, one of the earliest American parks to be developed in the English landscape garden style. For half a century, until the opening of Central Park in the early 1860s, the Hoboken park was legendary as one of the most popular outdoor recreation places in the New York metropolitan area.

  • 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.

  • Pair of Coalport Porcelain Oval Dishes, Flowers & Birds Patt.759, Regency ca1815
    By Coalport Porcelain
    Located in London, GB
    This is a spectacular pair of oval dishes made by Coalport between 1815 and 1820. The dishes bear the famous and very wonderful bird pattern with the number 759. Panels with stunning hand painted birds and flowers are set in a cobalt blue background with rich gilt decoration. This pattern is very desired and doesn't come to the market often, so this is a rare opportunity. Coalport was one of the leading potters in 19th and 20th Century Staffordshire. They worked alongside other great potters such as Spode, Davenport and Minton, and came out with many innovative designs. When we say "Coalport" we usually think of the one Coalport factory that became famous, but in its beginning years there were two factories, one run by John Rose and the other by his brother Thomas Rose. Thomas Rose went into partnership with Robert Anstice and Robert Horton and they were located directly opposite John Rose, across the canal. The brothers' factories had much in common with each other and they shared many different shapes and patterns. Ultimately, the John Rose factory proved more profitable and John Rose bought Thomas' factory in 1814, making it the one Coalport factory that became so famous. Many of the Coalport items, of either factory, are now collectors' items. The stunning thing about pattern 759 is that each bird is different, as well as each flower formation. All birds and flowers are painted carefully in their own colours; they are all different species. Each bird is an individual with its own expression; in fact I once had a large dinner service...
