Early 19th Century Chamberlain’s Worcester Presentation Dish With Twin Handles, C.1815–1820

Artist: Worcester

A large presentation dish made by Chamberlain’s Worcester in the early 19th century from early Worcester hybrid-paste porcelain. The deep oval form is accented by a burgundy enamel ground to the rim, enriched with floral panels and extensive gilding. The centre is painted with a figural boating scene set within a calm landscape.

The strongly moulded and scalloped rim is richly gilded and fitted with openwork gilt scroll handles. The scale and decorative ambition of this piece align it with the more prestigious presentation wares produced by Worcester during the Regency period. Collectors prize large Chamberlain’s Worcester dishes for their rarity, decorative quality and commanding presence.
