Skip to product information
An exceptional antique English Royal Worcester porcelain cabinet plate, date code for 1923, hand-painted and signed by the renowned fruit artist Richard Sebright.
The central reserve depicts two ripe apricots with three gooseberries and delicate blossom, executed in richly shaded translucent enamels against a soft mossy ground.
The fruit panel is enclosed by an elaborate deep underglaze cobalt blue border, richly embellished with finely acid-etched hand-applied gold leaf incorporating stylised roses, scrolling foliage and an inner gilt leaf wreath. This highly labour-intensive decoration is characteristic of Royal Worcester's finest cabinet plates of the period. Comparable Pattern C1970 services, many painted by Richard Sebright, remain among the factory's most desirable productions.
Richard Sebright (1868-1951) is regarded as one of Royal Worcester's greatest fruit painters. His signed works are highly sought after for their exceptional quality, refined technique and enduring popularity among collectors.
The underside bears the authentic Royal Worcester factory mark with the date code for 1923 and pattern number C1970. The reverse also retains the original Bonhams auction labels, providing documented auction provenance.
Dimensions:
• Weight: 430 g
• Diameter: 23.2 cm
• Height: 2.5 cm
Condition:
Three fine surface glaze craze lines are present on the reverse. Examined under UV light, they do not extend into the porcelain body and are confined to the glaze. No cracks are visible from the front. Fine age-related crazing is visible only under magnification. The hand-painted decoration, enamels and gilding remain in excellent antique condition.
Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.
