A very rare Worcester bowl, circa 1755-56Of small size, painted in blue with a stylised European landscape featuring a windmill raised on a platform, a stream alongside, flanked by a simple thatched cottage and a tree with 'sponged' foliage, the reverse with a figure in a punt-like boat before distant mountain peaks, 12.5cm diam, two lines incised inside the footrimFootnotes:This decoration is extremely rare on Worcester. One other small Worcester bowl with related decoration featuring a windmill as the primary subject was in the Beechwood Collection exhibited by Simon Spero, 2016 exhibition, no.37. The treatment of the underglaze painting is similar to the celebrated 'Burrell Bowl' sold by Bonhams as part of the Zorka Hodgson Collection on 10 September 2008, lot 60, which is the only other piece of Worcester blue and white from this period recorded with a European landscape. All three bowls feature sketchily painted decoration reminiscent of delftware, with excessive use of shading and trees with distinctive foliage. The appearance is similar to some blue and white porcelain of similar date produced at Vauxhall and some Liverpool factories and it is possible that such pieces were painted by itinerant delftware painters.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A very rare delftware charger, dated 1703Probably London, with an everted rim and turned foot, painted in blue and yellow outlined in black with a windmill, the stone tower inscribed with the date '1703', before three cottages with distinctive fenestrated gable ends, smaller buildings and tall green sponged trees in the distance, similarly sponged bushes in the foreground, a blue line inside the 'blue dash' border around the rim, the back with a lead-tin glaze wash, 35cm diamFootnotes:A very similar charger decorated with a virtually identical scene dated 1704, no doubt from the same workshop, is in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection (accession no. 1937-200) and is illustrated by Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p.36, no.88. Lipski and Archer note that this charger bears a number of similarities to two groups of English chargers - those painted with full-length portraits of William III similarly outlined in manganese with similar sponged tress in bright green, and 'blue dash' chargers painted with portraits of Queen Anne seated with her generals. It is interesting to note that, in common with the William III chargers, both the present charger and that in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection have tin-glaze washes to the back.A 'blue dash' dish attributed to London painted in a very similar palette and style with a figure on horseback is illustrated by Leslie B Grigsby, The Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware (2000), Vol.2, p.64, no.D31 where it is suggested that this distinctive group may have been produced by a single individualistic workshop in England for a short period during the first decade of the 18th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
