Provenance
Gwen and Ronald McKnight Melvin Collection, Simon Spero Exhibition 2007, no.17
John Alchin Collection
This lot belongs to a group of Worcester porcelains painted with Chinese figures in a distinct bright palette, the foreground washed in lime green and flocks of birds used to disguise flaws in the porcelain. Other pieces in the group include a bowl from the Crane Collection, Bonhams sale, 31 March 2010, lot 91 and a splendid mug from the Henry Sandon and R David Butti Collections, Bonhams sale 10 May 2006, lot 24. It is possible that this group was painted by a single hand working outside of the factory. Sucriers of this period are scarce.
