Pair of Davenport pottery shell form dishes from a dessert service, printed & painted with the ‘Crane in Chinese Garden’ pattern, no. 27, with orange lustre rim.
Printed blue ‘DAVENPORT STONE CHINA’ & anchor mark,
circa 1820
23x20cm
Condition: one cracked with original rim chip lustred over (!), the other extensively damaged with old rivet repair & chips to handle.
Several pattern numbers have been sighted using this same underglaze blue transfer, including 24 and 27 (this example) as identified on the transcollectorsclub.org web database. In their write-up for #24, they include Godden’s reference to a service (in Godden’s ‘Ironstone’ 1999, p. 229, Plate 175 ) – but the coloration (although black & white in the book) is different enough to suggest it is in fact another pattern – a shame that service didn’t have the pattern number recorded in the publication!
