A pair of Worcester dessert plates, circa 1768-70

Decorated in the workshop of James Giles with flowers in 'Dry Blue' enamel, lively tones of blue giving depth to the fuller floral sprays and smaller sprigs including chrysanthemums and an open tulip, the scalloped edges with gilt dentil rims, 21cm diam (2)

Footnotes

Worcester developed the vibrant and generously applied 'Dry blue' enamel to overcome the difficulty experienced when firing blue overglaze decoration. This was used in a freer and more exciting style by the Giles atelier. A teapot with similar decoration, also with the 'divergent tulip', is illustrated by John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.185, col. pl.48.
