Provenance
Ralph Kenber Collection

Referred to in the Worcester's London warehouse price list as 'Wav'd', feather moulding was based on an English silver design although it also occurs in Italian porcelain. Only on the tall coffee pot form it is possible to see the moulding in full and that it represents peacock feathers. The current lot is illustrated by John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.107, col. pl.24. See also a similar example illustrated by F Severne Mackenna, 'Worcester Porcelain' (1950), pl.29, fig.58.
