Pair Chinese Export Porcelain Chargers, Ca. 1740

China Ca. 1740

A very fine example of Chinese advanced skill in porcelain manufacturing. At that time Europeans were only in the later stages of experimenting in successful porcelain production. The rim of the chargers are superbly decorated in finely engraved “bianco sopra bianco” white enamel.

One charger bears a sticker from Elanor Gordon, the former Grand Dame of Chinese Export Porcelain.

Worcester Teapot, Ca. 1780

An attractive late 18th century gold and white teapot, though unmarked is undoubtedly a product of the Worcester manufactory. The ribbed barrel form is decorated with gold swags. This would make a very good shelf piece at a low cost as one side has had the gold heavily rubbed.
