Worcester slop bowl, painted with gilt crane pattern, London decorated, probably Giles, c.1775

15.5 cm wide, 7.5 cm high

ref. Zorensky sale, lot 235 for a coffee cup in this pattern, ‘possibly workshop of James Giles’. The decoration is very untypical in style and execution of anything the factory did, and Giles is a likely candidate, although there were numerous other decorating studios in London at the period.The pieces recorded probably represent a single tea service.
