LotNo 132

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.
