A Worcester assembled part tea, coffee and dessert service, circa 1790-1820Richly decorated with the 'Queen Charlotte' pattern, comprising a sauce tureen and cover on a fixed stand, two shell-shaped dishes, two oval dishes, two square dishes, a lozenge-shaped dish, nine plates, a teapot and cover, a sucrier and cover, a slop bowl, a saucer dish, ten teacups, three coffee cups and nine saucers, largest dish 29.7cm wide, crescent marks, incised B marks, or impressed crowned FBB marks (46)Footnotes:The King and Queen visited Worcester in 1788 to attend the Music Meeting and they toured Flight's china manufactory. They ordered a set of the Lily pattern, which was renamed 'Royal Lily' in their honour. It is presumed that the 'Queen Charlotte' pattern was also renamed following the Queen's visit in 1788, but there is no surviving record of an order for the pattern from the Queen. Introduced thirty years earlier, the Queen Charlotte pattern remained popular throughout the Regency period.

This example is exceptional in every way. A very similar teapot is in the Klepser collection illustrated by Simon Spero (1984), fig.194. Another, with a different shaped finial, is in the Museum of Royal Worcester, illustrated by Branyan, French and Sandon (1989), pattern I.B.22. When Branyan, French and Sandon compiled their Blue and White book in 1980, this pattern was named 'Indian Fisherman' because one of the authors thought the figure on the front had a feather in their hair, looking like a stereotypical character from a Western film. The pattern is actually a fancy version of the design on cups and saucers called the 'Fisherman and Willow Pavilion'. The figure used in the larger panels on teapots and on jugs, is clearly a Chinese fisherman and not a Native American. When the Museum of Royal Worcester updated its case labelling, a more appropriate name was proposed. The preferred name is now 'The Angler under a Willow Branch' pattern.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
