About the Item

From a Bow service with decoration attributed to the painter Jeffryes Hammett O'Neale, probably in the London workshop of James Giles. The tray with shallow rim and shaped outline with gilt on red border, and painted with a river scene of a castle on a treed island; the foreground with fence and tree, the sky with flocks of birds; all in painted enamels. Prov: Taylor Collection; Robyn Robb 2002; Sotheby’s London 1962. It appears that only one Bow service was produced with this decoration, possibly through outside decoration of assembled Bow items in the white. Other pieces, decorated by the same hand, and apparently from the same service, include: (i) Teabowl and saucer, Gardiner Museum, Toronto (G 83.1.0807.1-2), as circa 1755-60. (ii) Coffee cup and saucer, V&A, Bequest Mrs Selwyn Parkinson, C. 7&A-1965, as circa 1755-60, H. 7.0 cm. (iii) Teapot, oval, Spero, 1995/2012, [and Tilley 1957, Plate XXIV, Teapot and Stand]. While there is traditional attribution to O’Neale, 1734-1801, no signed examples are recorded, and no documentary links between Bow and O’Neale exist. There is however support for attribution to O’Neale on grounds of style and technique. The subject, the palette, and the castle are all hallmarks of his work.

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...

Spode Stone China Small Serving Dish in Ship Pattern 3068, circa 1810
By Spode
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a good small Serving Dish made of ironstone (Spode's Stone China) in the Ship Pattern, No 3068, produced by the English, Spode factory early in the 19th century, George 111rd Period. The pattern is called the Ship pattern number 3068, the chinoiserie decoration being transfer printed under-glaze, then very carefully hand painted in bold colored enamels with additional gilding over-glaze. As is usual with Spode ware the standard of hand painted detail is very high. A plate in this pattern is shown on page 54 of Steven Smith's book; "Spode and Copeland" published by Schiffer. The pattern is in the Chinese taste as produced by many of the English potteries of the time, to compete directly with the large import of Canton or Chinese Export porcelain from China. The dish has a mid brown edge similar to that often seen on Chinese plates. It is fully marked to the base, with the earlier Spode black printed Stone-China mark...
