Large Coalport / Coalbrookdale tray with superb flower painting, the rim with applied flowers, c. 1830
$460.00 AUD
Stunning Coalport – Coalbrookdale oval tray or stand of large size, the base well painted with a large life-sized group of flowers, smaller groups to the sides, the rim with pierced leaf moulding & twin handles encrusted with large scale flower models, the whole with rich gilding.
Unmarked,
circa 1830
39x28cm
Condition: Major restorations to rim & flowers , with several rim-only breaks restock, the central flower painted base fortunately untouched; some flowers replacements with minor overpainting evident. Displays well thanks to the irregular form of the rim!
ref. Gordon Bushnell “The Illustrated guide to 19th century Coalport ‘Coalbrookdale’ floral encrusted porcelain” pl. 93 for a smaller example, ‘Rare Coalport Basket, unmarked …. very typical of Coalport… no record of this shape is known… ‘ .
Interestingly, the illustrated example has an overhead handle; this example never has, making it yet another ‘unrecorded’ example of this rare large shape.
