Pair Of Planters. Porcelain. Royal Worcester. England. 19th Century

This pair of English porcelain planters is an elegant example of Victorian taste, with a restrained, naturalistic decoration. Globular in shape and resting on a molded foot, they feature a white enamelled surface enhanced by delicate gilded friezes of remarkable execution.

On their faces, polygonal cartouches framed in gold host exotic birds in idealized landscapes, where we appreciate a careful treatment of color and detail, typical of the English decorative tradition.

The small side handles, with their curved, sober design, bring balance to the composition without taking away from the protagonism of the pictorial decoration.
