Lot 241

A Lund's Bristol scallop shell pickle dish, circa 1748-50The mould probably cast from an actual shell, painted in blue with a Chinese vase containing two feathers in front of a partly unrolled scroll, an insect in flight to one side, the border with three long feathers entwined with ribbons, a shell flanked by two leaves at the base, the underside with two leafy branches, 9.6cm longFootnotes:Chemical analysis of a distinctive class of 'Limehouse' pickle dishes has shown these to be primarily of the Mg-P-Pb type and therefore made from a formula containing soaprock. While some examples appear to be more highly vitrified or glassy than others, it seems likely that all were manufactured at Bristol. See Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), pp.248-51, where a dish with identical decoration is illustrated on p.249, no.JY5.

Lot 246

An early Worcester teapot and cover, circa 1754-55Of octagonal form with a fine loop handle and straight spout, moulded with two lobed panels, painted in blue with the 'Captive Bird' pattern (BFS I.A.33), a Chinese figure standing on a riverbank holding a bird tethered to a string, the reverse with a fisherman by a pavilion, floral garlands and flying insects below the diaper and foliate panelled border, the cover similarly moulded and painted with miniaturised versions of the pattern, 12.5cm high, corresponding TF workman's marks (2)Footnotes:This rare pattern is found on creamboats as well as teapots. It is therefore interesting to note that the two dividing 'supports' in the moulding of the lobed panels differs on each side of this teapot, a feature noted on many early creamboats made at Worcester. The blue and white versions of this teapot shape at Worcester are rarer than those painted in overglaze enamels. See Simon Spero, Lund's Bristol and Early Worcester Porcelain (2006), for an example of each type from the A J Smith Collection, p.108, pl.29 (blue and white) and p.177, pl.85 (polychrome).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

See also Sandon and Spero, Worcester Porcelain, The Zorensky Collection (1996), p.357, pl.456 where another teabowl and saucer is illustrated and discussed.

Mitchells

Lot 58

A collection of Chinese Cantonese century porcelain, to include three vases, a teapot and three jars with covers (one cover missing) (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: Within this lot there are three jars with covers, one of the covers is missing so there are only two covers for the three jars. One of those jar covers has been heavily restored, this is apparent through the different hue or colour and it does not ring true. There are also other areas of damage to this lot. There are clear hairline cracks to the base of the teapot and the other cover for the other jar also has a chip ½ cm long but is clearly visible when it is placed on the jar. So, this lot is in mixed condition, there is much wear to the gilding and decoration on the items.
