FINEST FIRST PERIOD WORCESTER PORCELAIN JAPANESE STYLE  JABBERWOCKY PATTERN  FLUTED BOWL C.1770-80
Finest First Period Worcester Porcelain Japanese Style Jabberwocky 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 On this hand painted antique the usual complementary large fiery pine cone motif, forming part of the design, has been replaced by a striking stylized red flower head.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 Hamilton Bear.
