This pair of Barr Worcester porcelain plates was hand-painted at the Warmstry House factory on the River Severn in Worcester, England, between 1792 and 1803.
Each plate features clusters of rich brown grapes framed by curling gold tendrils.
The center of each plate is encircled by a ring of gold scrollwork surrounding a grape cluster.
The border displays a repeating grape motif interspersed with gilt leaves.
The scalloped rims are beautifully trimmed in gold.
The surface of the plates has a molded fluted design, adding visual interest as light plays across them.
The effect is fabulous!
The warm tones of the brown enamel and gold create a rich contrast against the bright white porcelain, making them as visually appealing today as they were when first produced.
