A Worcester bottle vase, circa 1754-55

Of hexagonal baluster or 'onion' form, printed in outline and enamelled in bright colours with a Chinese mother and child standing before a vase, the mother holding a wand, a seated figure holding a fan to the reverse, insects in flight to either side, a formal iron red border painted below the rim, 11.9cm high

Provenance
Simon Spero exhibition 1996, no.28
John Alchin Collection

The pattern is one of a small number of prints created as an outline for hand-painted decoration. This seems to have been designed specifically for this shape of small vase as the pattern has not been noted on any other shaped pieces. Some twelve polychrome designs are recorded on this short-lived model.
