£600.00
Skip to product information
A fine Royal Worcester cabinet plate bearing the date code for 1935 and signed by the celebrated factory artist Richard Sebright. The underside retains the original Bonhams auction labels, providing documented auction provenance.
The luminous central painting depicts two richly coloured apples with blackberries, delicate blossom and naturalistic foliage against a soft atmospheric background. Unlike the darker mossy grounds often used for Royal Worcester fruit studies, this lighter composition emphasises Sebright's subtle modelling and natural colouring.
Richard Sebright is officially recognised as the greatest fruit painter in the history of Royal Worcester. His finest signed works are regarded as museum-quality porcelain and occupy the highest level of the international market for the factory's Painted Fruit wares.
The broad deep cobalt blue border is lavishly enriched with hand-applied burnished gold ornament, scrolling foliage, oval medallions and refined neoclassical motifs.
The reverse bears the Royal Worcester factory backstamp and the original hand-painted workman's mark "Z 21".
Dimensions:
Diameter 26.4 cm. Height 2 cm. Weight 590 g
Condition:
Excellent original cabinet condition. Fine age-related craquelure is present within the enamel of the central painted reserve. Minor wear is visible to the gilt foot rim on the reverse. Examined under UV light, no evidence of restoration, repairs, chips or cracks was detected. The fruit painting, enamels, cobalt blue ground and gilt decoration on the face remain in excellent original condition.
