A Royal Worcester Dish modelled as a large scallop shell. Model 971

The porcelain is finished in a warm blush ivory tone with softly shaded colour that pools in the moulding. The rim is gently undulating and picked out with fine gilt.

Hand-painted floral sprays in pinks, blues, and greens are placed within the shell’s interior for a light, refined effect. A small shell-like knop and sculptural shell feet create a raised display form rather than a flat serving plate.

Date marked for Royal Worcester as 1896 (letter G with 6 dots) so this is one of the earlier iterations of this particular shell form.
