FINEST FIRST PERIOD WORCESTER PORCELAIN
JAPANESE
STYLE JABBERWOCKY
PATTERN FLUTED BOWL C.1770-80
"An
interesting, rare and attractive First Period Worcester
porcelain fluted bowl of French
shape dating from circa 1770-80. It is
exquisitely decorated in the Japanese style with a pattern known as the Jabberwocky
to collectors. The name evolves from the curious looking mythical
dragon-beast that adorns the piece. On this hand painted antique the
usual complementary large fiery pine cone motif, forming part of the
design, has been replaced by a striking stylized red flower head.
Examples of the Jabberwocky
pattern on Worcester porcelain are rare and special." Antiques Expert
