First Period / Dr Wall Worcester Porcelain Blue & White Floral Junket Dish c.1770

Superb 18th century Worcester porcelain junket dish with shaped rim and press moulded scallop shell and floral decoration. Painted with the Junket Dish Florals pattern. Further floral sprays are painted to the underside of the rim and a cell border runs in sections around the rim. Open crescent mark to the base, c.1770.

Reference: Branyan, French & Sandon, section I.E.35, classed as uncommon.

It measures 24.5cm (9 5/8") wide and 7.3cm (2 7/8") high. 

Condition is excellent with no damage, repair or restoration and minimal handling wear. There is a short firing line at the rim from manufacture. Beautiful on display, but also a lovely practical size for fruit, salads and desserts for those who wish to use, rather than just admire their collection.
