Plate
Dateca. 1754
Maker
English, Chelsea
Label TextAlmost every European porcelain factory produced close coipes as well as imitations utilizing the Kakiemon palette and spacious composition. A good example of the latter is seen on a plate made in the Chelsea factory. Japanese-inspired form, pattern, and palette were introduced at Chelsea in 1750 to promote the factory's newly improved porcelain body. The result is a "taste entirely new" as advertised by the owner and director of the factory, Nicholas Sprimont.
