Dragons in Compartments Plate Chamberlains Worcester Porcelain England Ca.1820″
$760.00
This Chamberlains Worcester porcelain plate is hand-painted with the vibrant “Dragons in Compartments” pattern, also known as the “Bengal Tiger” pattern.
Made in England circa 1820, the design features four lozenge-shaped panels outlined in gilt.
Surrounding the central pink rosette, two panels depict mythical beasts in swirling foliage, while the other two show vases filled with flowers on tables, all set against a crisp white ground.
The wide border is richly decorated in orange, green, and gold, echoing the Famille Verte palette of Chinese porcelain.
The pattern originated at Worcester in the late 18th century as an English interpretation of Kangxi-era Chinese export porcelain, reimagined with Regency flair.
The overall effect is bold and beautifully exotic.

Background of Chamberlain’s Worcester
Robert Chamberlain and his son Humphrey began by decorating porcelains produced by the original Worcester factory in the 1770s–1780s.
In 1793, they founded their own porcelain works in Worcester.
Chamberlains Worcester quickly earned a reputation for exceptionally high-quality hand-painting and gilding, achieving royal patronage.
Many of their designs, like this one, were inspired by Japanese and Chinese porcelain from the 18th century, interpreted through the lens of early 19th-century English taste.
