18th century porcelain dish, attributed to Chantilly, circa 1740-1750, with later ormolu mounted handle and feet, the dish of moulded shell form, painted in the Kakiemon pallet with an exotic bird and grasshopper amidst flowers and foliage, with foliate ormolu handle, and upon three scrolling foliate feet, possible obscure Chantilly mark beneath, including handle H10cm W31cm A letter from the Ashmolean Museum accompanied the dish when it entered the current vendor's family collection. In the letter, Dr. Impey noted that the painting is European, possibly Dutch. The general consensus was that the shell dates to the 18th century, with the ormolu mounts likely added in the 19th century. However, the factory of origin remained unidentified. The letter was signed by Ian Lowe in 1974. Further consultation at the time with four members of staff at the Victoria and Albert Museum yielded differing opinions, with suggestions including Chantilly and Bow. The piece has been attributed to Chantilly partly due to what appears to be a partially obliterated horn motif beneath.

Further Information & Condition Report

Dating back to the 18th century, this exquisite porcelain dish has been attributed to Chantilly, circa 1740-1750. The dish features a later ormolu mounted handle and feet, designed in a moulded shell form and painted in the Kakiemon pallet. The intricate design showcases an exotic bird and grasshopper surrounded by vibrant flowers and foliage. The addition of a foliate ormolu handle and three scrolling foliate feet adds to its elegance and charm. Measuring H10cm W31cm, a possible obscure Chantilly mark can be found beneath the handle.

Accompanying this remarkable piece is a letter from the Ashmolean Museum, which has been within the current vendor's family collection. Dr. Impey's observations in the letter suggest that the European-style painting, possibly Dutch, dates back to the 18th century. The consensus leans towards the ormolu mounts being added in the 19th century, although the factory of origin remains a mystery. Signed by Ian Lowe in 1974, the letter also mentions consultations with four Victoria and Albert Museum staff members, leading to differing opinions, with potential origins suggested including Chantilly and Bow. The attribution to Chantilly is supported by the presence of what appears to be a partially obliterated horn motif underneath the dish.

Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this exceptional piece of porcelain, steeped in history and mystery, at Duggleby Auctioneers.
