FIRST PERIOD WORCESTER POWDER BLUE SHAPED PLATE
England, c1760-65
The shaped plate centering a roundel painted with a Chinese riverscape, depicting a Chinese man in a boat before a house, rocks,
trees and two pagodas, below birds in the sky, the rim with three fan shaped panels of further fishing scenes alternating with roundels
of flowerheads, against a powder blue ground, the verso with underglaze blue sprigs and mock Chinese characters
Worcester introduced this Chinese method of painting c1760, which was produced by blowing dry cobalt thought a tube with a fine
screen on the end onto an oiled ground, the panels being masked for painting. It produced a much softer and more interesting
ground than the previous “wet blue”, the mottling having a fine texture. The earliest used, as did Bow, Chinese fishing villages
in the central roundel as well as the rim reserves. Mock Oriental marks were used c1760-70.
