Description
A C R O T E R I O N is pleased to offer this wonderful, museum-calibre pair of circa 1770, Dr. Wall first period Worcester porcelain bonbon, nut, pickle, or sweetmeat dishes, the 'leaf-and-twig' form soft paste bodies having the very desirable 'Scale Blue' pattern with gilt polychrome under and overglaze decoration, the reverses with underglaze blue 'open crescent' marks, making these earlier examples than ones with the more commonly found crosshatched or "fretted" square marks.
