Whieldon Creamware Tortoiseshell Plate 18th Century England, Circa 1765
$580.00This is a mid-18th-century creamware dish with exquisite tortoiseshell decoration. Made in England circa 1765, the plate is decorated in brown, green, and gold hues. The tortoiseshell decoration, also known as Whieldon ware, was developed by the English master potter Thomas Whieldon. To create this seemingly contemporary, abstract look, dry powdered metallic oxides were dusted onto the buff or cream-colored plate after its initial firing. The colored oxide stains ran freely when heated in the kiln. As a result, each piece of tortoiseshell creamware is unique. The plate was molded in a press, which created a raised scalloped design on the edge. Saltglaze and creamware plates with this edge were used in Colonial America and were found at Colonial Williamsburg.*
Dimensions: 9.25″ diameter
Condition: Very good with fine light craquelure in the glaze

In the top panel, we see a young man standing proudly with a rooster.
In Chinese folklore, roosters are associated with the sun, strength, and masculinity.
As a result, they are said to be able to scare away evil spirits.
Furthermore, a red rooster like this was said to protect homes from fire.
The panel on the left shows a delightful scene of a young boy with a cricket and a cricket cage.
The boy’s left hand is closed, presumably around a cricket, while the boy points to the cage with his right hand.
Crickets are associated with spring and summer.
The keeping of crickets was particularly popular in the capital city of Beijing during the last 300 years of the Qing Dynasty.
In the panel to the right, we see a young lady with two fluttering butterflies.
In Chinese tradition, butterflies symbolize the beauty and allure of summer while also embodying romantic notions and dreams.
According to P B Welch* the depiction of two butterflies is especially poignant, signifying a permanent feeling of affinity.
Alternating with the three figural panels are three panels delicately painted with peonies, symbolizing prosperity, abundance, and love. The peonies add a touch of elegance to the overall design.

Chelsea Red Anchor Porcelain Dish Mid-18th Century England 1752-1756
$1,140.00The wares of the Chelsea red anchor period (1752-1758), when this dish was made, are generally thought to be the finest work produced by the factory.*
The charm of this Chelsea soft paste porcelain dish lies in the quality of the soft paste porcelain itself, the warm white glaze, and the soft colors of the fabulous hand-painted flowers and insects. The flowers and insects are painted in exquisite soft colors, which seem to sink into the soft paste porcelain.
The painting is at the highest level of artistry. In the center, we see a loose bouquet of scattered flower sprigs, the largest sprig with a gorgeous purple rose, and a hairy caterpillar nearby. The border has crisp flowerhead and lattice molding reserving eight small panels painted with beautiful flowers and insects, one showing a butterfly and one a butterfly next to a ladybug. Along the rim, the dish has a brown line traditional to Chelsea.
Begun in 1743, the Chelsea porcelain factory was England’s first important porcelain manufacturer. The factory made soft paste porcelain which is different than “true” hard paste porcelain and does not require the high firing temperatures or the unique mineral ingredients needed for “true” hard paste porcelain. Soft paste originated in the attempts by European potters to replicate hard paste Chinese porcelain.
A dish decorated similar to ours and marked with the Chelsea red anchor is in the British Museum, accession number 1940,1101.70.Dimensions: 9.5″ wide (24cm)
Condition: Excellent
