Also please note some rubbing to paintwork on red skirt, upon close inspection the Woodmen example has found to be broken and repaired (just above the second line of applied white spheres, above the base, there is a hairline crack to be found around this full circumference area leading to the obvious conclusion that the candlestick has had a full break and has been re-affixed)

A very rare Worcester tureen and cover and a centrepiece, circa 1770-75The tureen of shallow circular form, the final finely modelled as cow, lying and with details picked out in blue, printed in blue with flowers from the 'Rose-Centred Spray Group' (II.C.10) and the 'Pine Cone Group' (II.C.11), 21.2cm diam, the centrepiece of quatrelobed oval footed form, an elaborate pierced design below the scroll-moulded rim, a simpler one above the foot, printed in blue with the 'Gillyflower' pattern (II.C.22), 29.2cm wide, crescent mark (3)Footnotes:The cow finial of the tureen is similar to a model made at Plymouth or Bristol and this provides an important link to John Toulouse, who is likely to have provided the model for this remarkable finial. An example in the Museum of Royal Worcester is illustrated by John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1999), p.119. An example from the Zorensky Collection was sold by Bonhams on 22 February 2006, lot 352 and is illustrated by Spero and Sandon, Worcester Porcelain (1996), p.486, no.666. The pierced borders of the centrepiece are reminiscent of contemporary creamwares, the fine quality of which would have made them worthy competitors in the market for Worcester's products. An identical dish from the Zorensky Collection was sold by Bonhams on 23 February 2005, lot 366 and is illustrated by Spero and Sandon (1996), p.477, no.649.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
Lot 191
An important Worcester teacup and saucer, circa 1770Decorated in the workshop of James Giles, finely painted in green monochrome with figures in classical landscapes, with gilt dentil borders, the cup with a solid gilt handle and wide gilt band at the footrim, saucer 13.1cm diam, crossed swords and numeral 9 (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceAnthony Wood CollectionStephen Hanscombe CollectionExhibitedDreweatt Neate, Dyson Perrins Museum exhibition 1995, no.136Albert Amor, Worcester Porcelain exhibition 2001Robyn Robb exhibition 2003, no.3Stockspring Antiques, James Giles exhibition 2005, no.110In 1924 an inventory was undertaken at Saltram House in Devon, the seat of the Earls of Morley. This detailed an extensive Worcester tea and coffee service painted with green landscapes, which included eight teacups and saucers. Notably, this service was not included in earlier inventories which suggests that it arrived there sometime between 1897, when the then Earl inherited another Devon House, Whiteway, and 1923 when Whiteway was sold and much of the contents were transferred to Saltram. It is likely that the service originally comprised twelve teacups and saucers and three of the remaining four are those now held in the collections of the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of Royal Worcester respectively. The present lot is likely to be the only cup and saucer from the service still in private hands.A similar service at Corsham Court in Wiltshire is recorded in archives as having been purchased directly from James Giles on 20 February 1771. The gilding on the Corsham Court set differs from the Saltram House examples, the latter having solid gilt handles and a wider band of gilding around the footrims.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 243
A Flight plate from the first Duke of Clarence service, circa 1789The scalloped edge painted with an elaborate border formed from entwined bands in blue and green ribbon enclosing Orders of the Garter, St. Andrew and the Thistle, together with sprigs of roses and thistles, the central royal arms of the Duke of Clarence hung with the Order of St. Andrew flanked by laurel and oak leaves, 24.4cm diam, marked 'Flight' with a crown and a crescent in blueFootnotes:This was the first royal armorial service made at Worcester. George III had visited Flights the previous year and possibly the King encouraged his son, Prince William Henry, to order a set to commemorate his having been awarded the Order of the Thistle along with the title 'Duke of Clarence and St Andrews'. In 1789 the Duke also retired from active service as a Rear Admiral and this perhaps inspired the choice of a central victory wreath featuring oak leaves, a reference to the British Navy. Another plate from the service was sold by Bonhams on 17 May 2017, lot 393. See also an example from the Ewers-Tyne Collection of Worcester porcelain at Cheekwood, illustrated and discussed in John Sandon's catalogue (2008), p.98, no.60. This service predates the 'Hope' service, also ordered by William, Duke of Clarence.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 262
A fine Kerr and Binns or Royal Worcester vase by Thomas Bott, circa 1857-68The gilding probably by Josiah Davis, of 'Raphael' shape with raised scroll handles, richly glazed in deep blue, the front panel finely painted in Limoges enamel style with a titled profile portrait of the Roman Emperor 'AUGUSTUS' in classical dress wearing a laurel wreath in his hair, within an elaborate gilt laurel cartouche, the reverse in tooled gilding with an eagle perched on a palm branch and clutching a wreath in one claw, 21.5cm highFootnotes:Thomas Bott (1829-1870) was apprenticed at the Richardson glassworks near Stourbridge and began working for Kerr and Binns in 1853. Here he developed his speciality Limoges-style enamels. Bott frequently collaborated with Josiah Davis to add gilding to his special productions. A garniture of vases of Raphael shape decorated with portraits by Bott was shown in the 1867 Exhibition, see Henry Sandon, Royal Worcester Porcelain (1973), pl.58. Another Raphael vase in similar style is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Chamberlain-Worcester Porcelain (1992), p.171, fig.216.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He subsequently worked as a freelance china painter and he created magnificent plaques for Bronté Porcelain. He is justifiably regarded as one of the foremost porcelain painters working in Britain in recent decades.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A pair of Royal Worcester cabinet plates by Charley Baldwyn, dated 1908Of scalloped form, the centres painted with lively lapwings amongst wildflowers and grasses with further birds in flight beyond, a nesting pair sheltering in the undergrowth, both signed 'C H C Baldwyn', within simple gilt line rims, 22.6cm diam, puce marks (2)Footnotes:Charley Baldwyn had a passionate interest and aptitude for painting birds from life.

Frustrated at the few opportunities to paint 'real' birds, Baldwyn left the factory by 1909 to concentrate on painting watercolours.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 277
A rare Royal Worcester vase attributed to George White, dated 1898Of shouldered form with a shaped rim and beaded collar, fluting to the lower part, the shoulder painted with a continuous landscape depicting a fair-haired maiden in classical dress reclining on a mound, a lute by her side, the reverse with two putti examining a lute, the moulding picked out in green and raised gilding, 17.3cm high, blue mark, shape number 1538Footnotes:This delicate vase is something of an enigma. The figure painting is unlike anything seen on Royal Worcester and instead it corresponds with decoration from the Burslem factory of Royal Doulton. In particular, the painting so closely resembles the work of George White and it is difficult to think of any other artist who could have been responsible. Similarly, the gilding on this vase is atypical of Royal Worcester and instead is very much in the Doulton traditions. It is likely, therefore, that this vase was decorated in Burslem, perhaps by George White working as a freelance.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
