Grainger Worcester Porcelain Dolphin Support Shell Shaped Salt c.1860
About the Item
An antique Grainger Worcester porcelain shell shaped salt dating from around 1860. The finely made salt stands raised on a shaped rectangular pedestal base and is modelled with a dolphin resting on the base with its tail raised in the Air and supporting a large clam shaped shell. The slat is well modelled with god detail and pattering with only minimal painting to the shell with tones of pink and orange applied around the edge and to the inner outer edges of the shell dish. With gilded detailing to the edges and to the face of the dolphin the salt is naturally glazed with a light cream colored finish. The salt is numbered 643 and has a red written signature mark to the base for Grainger Worcester.

- Grainger Worcester Tea Set, Rococo Revival, Sevres-Style Birds, circa 1830By Grainger WorcesterLocated in London, GBThis is a tea set produced by Grainger Worcester in circa 1830, which was the Rococo Revival era. The set is decorated with birds and consists of a teapot, teapot stand or cake plate and two narrow cups and saucers. Grainger was one of the leading factories in Worcester in the 19th century. It started in the early days of British bone china production at the very beginning of the century, and was merged with Royal Worcester about 100 years later. During this era they were among the leaders of china production, producing exceptionally finely painted and sculpted forms, often jewelled, pierced or reticulated and decorated with exceptional art work. This set is potted in the Rococo Revival style and closely resembles tea services made by Henry Daniel - Grainger was known for making close and very nice imitations of the first class designs by Daniel. The teapot has a nice handle with a large thumb rest and a collared rim. The cups, which are probably coffee cups as they are narrow, have beautifully shaped "rustic bean" handles that closely resemble Henry Daniel's designs of that era. The items are simple white with beautifully hand painted birds in the Sevres style, as well as gilt vine motif. The rims are gadrooned, as was popular around this time. An image of the teapot shape and pattern 1681 (although a more luxurious version with feet, which this teapot doesn't have) can be found in Michael Berthoud's "An Anthology of British Teapots...Category
