The painting of the Chinese figure has a slightly different feel to that on other pieces from the same class perhaps due to the more unusual colouring, the standard pink tunic replaced by taupe, a colour also used to highlight the flowers and rockwork.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 130

A rare Worcester butter cooler and cover, circa 1756-8Of moulded oval shape imitating a slatted wooden dairy buttertub, pierced all over with small holes and set on four scroll feet, with hoops picked out in yellow and painted with colourful Meissen-style flowers, the cover with a naturalistic fruit finial, 14.1cm wide (2)Footnotes:ProvenancePhelps Collection, Christie's sale, 1 October 1984, lot 8Zorensky Collection, Bonhams sale, 16 March 2004, lot 24Ralph Kenber CollectionMeissen Style FlowersChina shops in 18th century London were dominated by imports from China. A very limited amount of Meissen porcelain was available and anything painted with European flowers made a refreshing change from famille rose. Chelsea was able to borrow and copy Meissen painted with 'deutsche Blumen' and this proved hugely popular in England. Worcester saw their chance and copied the Chelsea copies of Meissen. Success was guaranteed.For a similar example see John Sandon, Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), col. pl.99. The shape was first made in silver, while related objects are known in Chelsea, Derby, Japanese and Meissen porcelains as well as Dutch Delft. The pierced holes allowed condensation to drain off the butter, caused by the change in temperature when it was brought in from the dairy.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 172

A rare large Worcester mug, circa 1754Of 'Scratch Cross' type, bell-shaped on a wide foot with a grooved strap handle, transfer-printed in black with fancy birds, two long-tailed 'Pheasants', smaller birds squabbling in a tree above, also printed with a more plausible heron and duck, 14.5cm high, scratch cross and incised lineFootnotes:ProvenanceMrs von de Porten CollectionSir William Mullens CollectionE and J Handley CollectionSimon Spero exhibition 2000, no.29Ralph Kenber CollectionBased on a contemporary silver shape, this mug or tankard represents the earliest period of transfer-printing on English porcelain and would have provided a large 'canvas' on which to experiment with the new technique. The printed design appears in 'The Ladies' Amusement', the long-tailed birds referred to as 'pheasants'. A smaller mug with the same print from the Dyson Perrins Collection is illustrated by Cyril Cook, The Life and Work of Robert Hancock (1948), item 83, fig. 1.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 28

A Worcester hexagonal creamboat, circa 1753-54With a lobed and everted rim and an angular handle with scrolled thumbrest, crisply moulded on both sides with scrolled panels painted in famille rose style, one with a Chinese figure pointing to the right, the other with a similar figure, two insects below the spout and flower spays within the interior, 10.5cm longFootnotes:ProvenanceSimon Spero exhibition 1996, no.25John Alchin CollectionThe same standing Chinese figure is found on a moulded creamboat in the Zorensky Collection. See Bonhams sale, 23 February 2005, lot 2.Hexagonal CreamboatsA staple product of Worcester's early years, the hexagonal-shaped creamboat originated at Limehouse and continued at the Lund's Bristol factory. Creamboats of this general form are surprisingly rare in English silver of the period, customers preferring porcelain to pour a costly mixture of cream and sugar on their deserts. The low creamboat shape probably corresponds to the '...pannel'd cream ewers' from the factory's London warehouse price list. Surviving examples show enormous variety in the mouldings used on early Worcester creamboats; the examples in this sale illustrating just how much even the geranium leaves below the spout can differ in form.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 63

A rare Worcester small mug, circa 1755-56Of silver shape and attractive small size, with a grooved and rounded base, painted in blue with the 'Warbler' pattern(I.C.4), the bird perched on a mound, flowering branches issuing from stylised rockwork to the reverse, the interior rim with a diaper and flowerhead border, 7.7cm high, workman's markFootnotes:ProvenanceZorensky Collection, Simon Spero exhibition, 2003, no.48John Alchin CollectionIllustrated by John Sandon, Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.358, and by Sandon and Spero, The Zorensky Collection (1996), p.418, no.555. The underside of this mug is flat and unglazed, which is a rare feature on Worcester porcelain. This shape was in production for a very limited period. The model was inspired by a slightly earlier silver form.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 73

A Worcester sauceboat, circa 1755-58Of fluted silver shape on a high foot, the handle with a pronounced thumbrest, painted in blue with the 'Fisherman on a Towering Rock' pattern (I.B.13), 21.8cm long, workman's markFootnotes:ProvenanceJohn Alchin CollectionSauceboats and CreamboatsImported Chinese export porcelain gave early Worcester its inspiration, but it was also its main competition. In one important area, though, Worcester excelled. British customers wanted porcelain copies of silver sauceboats and creamboats, the most desirable luxury items. While brilliant in so many other ways, the Chinese never mastered the techniques of casting and moulding. Worcester seized the opportunity to make a product that was better than anything available from China. The fact that they made so many different models and moulds shows how far they succeeded.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
