Rare Worcester Porcelain Sauceboat – “The Fisherman and Billboard Island” Pattern, c.1760
Description:
A fine and increasingly scarce Worcester Porcelain press-moulded porcelain sauceboat, dating to circa 1760. Elegantly formed with a strap handle and relief-moulded decoration of panels and floral motifs, the body is arranged with three shaped reserves on each side and beneath the spout.
The piece is expertly hand-painted in the sought-after “Fisherman & Billboard Island” pattern, classified as uncommon in Branyan, French & Sandon (Section I.B.15). The decoration is finely executed, reflecting the quality and artistry of early Worcester production. A blue crescent mark is present to the base.
Condition:
Very good antique condition with minimal handling wear. There is a small, old repair to the lip which is visible on close inspection. The piece also displays typical factory features, including a lightly smoothed underglaze nibble to the rim from manufacture and two minor firing lines (one beneath the foot and one under the handle), all consistent with 18th-century production and not affecting overall display.
Dimensions:
- Length: 20 cm
- Width: 11 cm
- Height: 10.3 cm
Why This Piece Stands Out:
- Authentic c.1760 Worcester porcelain
- Rare “Fisherman & Billboard Island” pattern
- Elegant relief-moulded form
- Early blue crescent mark
- Strong display piece with honest period characteristics
