Fine Quality English Copeland Porcelain Bowl with Gilt Monogram and Decoration 20th Century
Fine Quality English Porcelain Bowl made by the Copeland potteries, the cream glaze with fine quality gilt decoration with raised beads in gold and white, a single monogram to the exterior with the initials 'WG'. The base glazed in white with printed marks 'COPELANDS CHINA ENGLAND' and 'TGOODE&C LONDON' below a crest. The Copeland family were involved with the production of fine porcelain since the beginning of the nineteenth century when William Copeland joined in partnership with William Spode whose family had been manufacturing ceramics since the mid eighteenth century. By the early twentieth century, Copeland were recognised as producers of fine porcelains in their own right. After the First World War, dinner and tea services ‘for best’ were popular and produced in large quantities and in different price ranges. This bowl, clearly from a dinner service, is a fine example of this. The high quality gilt work decoration would have been expensive at the time and the service itself was a special commission as evidenced by the monogram which would have appeared on all the component pieces. Thomas Goode were and still are suppliers of high quality porcelains and the service must have been bought from them, presumably as a special order. A circa date between 1900 and 1930 seems reasonable.Size: | Diam 23.8cm Ht 8.5cm Base 14cm |
