The painting here is more free, less stylised and certainly by a different hand.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 124
A fine and early Worcester beaker vase, circa 1754Of 'Scratch Cross' type and of waisted, cylindrical form, finely painted with the 'Bird and Snail' pattern, the bird perched on one of two gnarled branches which stand by a small, red fence, looking down towards an unfortunate snail on the grass below, the reverse with a smaller vignette of flowering bamboo sprouting from rocks and an insect in flight, 14.8cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceA J Smith CollectionGordon and Sue Guy-Jones CollectionSimon Spero exhibition 2012, no.8Ralph Kenber CollectionThere would appear to be four recorded examples of this exceptional vase. One from the Rous Lench Collection, later in the Sir Jeremy Lever and Crane Collections was sold by Bonhams, 7 March 2007, lot 21 and 31 March 2010, lot 60, respectively. The present lot being almost identical with the addition of a flying insect painted on the reverse. Two smaller examples are in the Ashmolean Museum, one illustrated by H Rissik Marshall, Coloured Worcester Porcelain (1954), pl.25, no.563. A matching water bottle and basin also from Rous Lench was gifted to the Museum of Royal Worcester. Three bell-shaped mugs with the same decoration are recorded, each inscribed on the base 'ExL 1754'. One of these from the Grant Dixon Collection was at Ampleforth Abbey. The second is in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the third is at Colonial Williamsburg. These mugs were instrumental in dating of early 'Scratch Cross' class and by association it is possible to confidently place the current lot around 1754.Although not painted with this pattern, a closely related vase, clearly painted by the same hand from the R David Butti Collection was sold by Bonhams, 10 May 2006, lot 33. In each case, the painting is very finely executed, with great care given to the detailing and composition.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 125
A Worcester vase, circa 1757-8Of shallow baluster form with a wide trumpet shaped neck, painted with 'The Mobbing Birds with Owl' pattern, with a long-eared owl perched on a branch, flanked by two other inquisitive birds and flocks of birds populating the sky above a lush, grassy ground, the reverse with a formal bouquet of roses and bluebells and scattered sprigs, 11.7cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceDiscovered by the BBC Antiques Roadshow, Beaumaris 1993Bonhams sale, 5 December 2007, lot 231Ralph Kenber CollectionThe Mobbing Birds PatternThe many Worcester artists responsible for the Mobbing Birds design clearly had differing abilities. In a pioneering article in Connoisseur in 1963, Hugh Tait suggested the design was based on a combination of bird drawings by C Fenn, including some engraved by Robert Hancock. The fact that an identical composition is known on a Chelsea vase makes it seem more likely Worcester copied Chelsea, and therefore by extension the pattern and shapes derive ultimately from Meissen. These two vases in the Kenber Collection are painted in an almost cartoon-like style, their comical manner far removed from the signed mug in the British Museum that forever links the name I.Rogers to this group.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 126
A Worcester vase and cover, circa 1757-58Of baluster shape, on a spreading foot, the high domed cover with a flower bud finial, painted with 'The Mobbing Birds with Owl' pattern with a long-eared owl perched on a branch, flanked by two other birds, the tree placed on a lush grassy mound, the reverse with a formal bouquet of flowers, with related sprigs and scattered leaves around the neck and cover, 17.5cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceRalph Kenber CollectionA similar vase is in the H Rissik Marshall collection, no.513 in the Ashmolean Museum, while a larger form of this vase was given by Lady Charlotte Schreiber to the Victoria & Albert museum (414:39/&A-1885). Both have almost identical decoration to the current lot and combined with the beaker vases, these would have formed impressive garnitures.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 132
A Worcester vase and cover, circa 1757-8Of inverted baluster form, the high domed cover with a bud finial, painted in Meissen style with a full spray of European flowers, smaller sprays and sprigs scattered around it, 21cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceSimon Spero Exhibition 1994, no.21Ralph Kenber CollectionFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Severe firing problems may explain why this is the only recorded example of a Worcester pedestal.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 162
A Worcester teabowl, coffee cup and saucer, circa 1756-58Finely potted and 'pencilled' in black with a Chinese man in a fenced garden, holding a parasol, a bird perched on his other hand, between a vase of flowers on a low table and a tree, the reverse and interior of the teabowl and reverse of the cup with island pavilions, lambrequin scroll borders inside the rims, saucer 11.7cm diam (3)Footnotes:ProvenanceRalph Kenber CollectionFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A very similar vase, possibly the pair to this lot, is in the H Rissik Marshall Collection and is illustrated in Coloured Worcester Porcelain (1954), pl.13 no.233. The inspiration would appear to have been 1730s Meissen, an influence acknowledged by the use of kakiemon sprigs on the shoulder similar in taste to the 'indianische Blumen' sprigs used at Meissen. The primary prints on this vase also occur on a pair of scale blue ground hexagonal vases in the British Museum, see R L Hobson, Catalogue of the Frank Lloyd Collection of Worcester Porcelain (1923), pl.78.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 20

Lot 21
A Worcester bottle vase, circa 1753-54Of hexagonal baluster or 'onion' form, delicately painted with a Chinese figure pointing to one side, wearing pink, blue and yellow costume, a fenced garden behind, the reverse with a flower spray, 11.7cm high,Footnotes:ProvenanceBillie Pain Collection, Bonhams sale, 26 November 2003, lot 114John Alchin CollectionA very similar vase is illustrated by Simon Spero, The A J Smith Collection (2006), p.182, pl.90. A comparison with the present lot reveals a remarkable consistency in the details of the pattern.Onion-shaped Bottle VasesThis delightful and popular shape is most likely derived from Chinese blanc de chine or Fujian white porcelain from the earlier Kangxi period. The shape is also known in Staffordshire white saltglaze. Worcester's onion bottles compare closely, in date, size and decoration, with a range of small white glass bottles with enamelling in bright colours, believed to have been made in South Staffordshire. Although the glass bottles are not octagonal, the chinoiserie figures and floral subjects are remarkably similar to early Worcester decoration and some of the same painters may have been responsible.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 22
A Worcester bottle vase, circa 1753-54Of hexagonal baluster or 'onion' form, painted with a Chinese figure standing with arms crossed, wearing pink, blue and yellow robes, a fence behind painted with a distinctive pebbled pattern, the reverse with a flower spray, 12cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceBillie Pain Collection, Bonhams sale, 26 November 2003, lot 115Simon Spero Exhibition 2004, no.11John Alchin CollectionThis is one of the models from this brief period which underlines the likelihood that many of these pieces were conceived as ornaments rather than objects for practical use.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 45
A Worcester tankard, circa 1755-56With a gently spreading foot and a broad strap handle, painted in Kakiemon colours with a version of the 'Sir Joshua Reynolds' pattern, a long-tailed bird perched on a tall rock from which flowering branches grow to either side, 9.1cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceJohn Alchin collectionThis is a particularly rare and early example of the pattern on Worcester porcelain. Although clearly Japanese in style, the precise origin of this pattern remains unclear. A possible source is illustrated by R L Hobson, Worcester Porcelain (1910), pl.XXXIV where a close-up of the painting on a Japanese vase is shown alongside two Worcester pieces which appear to follow it very closely. The present lot differs slightly from these, the tail feathers of the bird being smaller and less curvaceous.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

It is possible that this group was painted by a single hand working outside of the factory.
