A complete Chamberlain's Worcester 'Africa' Pattern Cobalt Diminutive Tureen & Platter, a testament to English porcelain artistry from the 1820s. The platter, measuring 6.25 inches deep by 8 inches wide, is adorned with five hand-painted vignettes delicately arranged across its surface. Floral reserves grace the upper and lower cartouches, while graceful griffins adorn the left and right cartouches in a picturesque landscape. At the center, a stylized lion amidst an exotic scene adds allure and intrigue. The diminutive tureen, standing 6 inches high with a width of 7 inches and a depth of 4.25 inches, features a removable lid crowned with a stylized gilt finial. It rests on a twin gilt-handled base, mirroring the decoration of florals and griffins seen on the platter. Although unmarked, this Chamberlain's Worcester set is a remarkable representation of early 19th-century English porcelain sophistication, embodying the timeless style of the Regency era. See less
