A stunning Worcester porcelain circular basket with a lemon yellow enamel ground to the outside. The inside is superbly decorated with a large central floral spray and the intersections around the rim perfectly filled with very carefully painted smaller floral sprigs and a scattering of others around the lower part of the walls. The outside intersections are applied with small daisy flowers dotted with green and puce enamel. c.1768.

Reference: Worcester Porcelain, The Zorensky Collection, Spero & Sandon, plate 259 for a similar example.

It measures 19cm (7 1/2") wide and 7cm (2 3/4") high.

In excellent condition with just a single small chip to one of the flower petals just below the edge of the rim. There is a firing hairline running a short way around the edge of the base and a fine glaze line across one of the pierced wall sections (please see the later photos). No repair or restoration and minimal handling wear. A beautiful example. Payment is accepted by bank transfer, card payments (via an online invoice, I'm afraid we cannot take payments over the telephone), Paypal and UK personal cheque. If you prefer to pay by Stripe please go to our website where we offer that option and additionally options to "Pay in 30 days" and to pay in 3 instalments, all securely supported.
