A rare Worcester creamboat, circa 1768-70

Of unusual plain 'Chelsea Ewer' form without the leaf moulding, painted in blue with the 'Floral Queens' pattern of petal shaped panels each containing a single flower sprig, 7cm high, W mark within a square (minute chips or nicks on rim)

Footnotes

Provenance:
Winifred Williams, Eastbourne 1957
H. Trevor Lloyd Collection

A similar example was in the Zorensky Collection, Part 1, lot 340. Leaf-moulded examples of the Chelsea Ewer shape were very popular, but this plain version is rare. The mark of a letter W within a square only occurs on this uncommon pattern that derives from a Chinese prototype.
