EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite porcelain ewer is a stunning example of the intricate craftsmanship of the Derby Porcelain Works, produced around 1782. Part of a larger garniture de chemin, or ornate decorative set for a sideboard or mantelpiece, this ewer showcases the elegance and sophistication of the Georgian era. The ewer is painted in a rich palette of gold and blue on a pristine white ground. The central reserve features a charming scene of a shepherdess, dressed in traditional attire, holding a delicate bird cage. Surrounding her are a loyal dog and a playful lamb, adding to the pastoral idyll. The ewer's ornate design is a testament to the skill of the Derby Porcelain Works artisans. The gold and blue decorations are meticulously painted, creating a striking contrast against the pure white background. The ewer's shape is elegant and graceful, with a subtle curve that makes it a delight to hold and use. The garniture de chemin was a popular decorative trend during the 18th century, reflecting the refined tastes of the Georgian elite. This ewer, with its intricate design and beautiful colors, would have been a prized possession in any well-appointed home. This image captures the essence of the garniture de chemin, offering a glimpse into the world of Georgian elegance and refinement. The horizontal group shot allows for a clear view of the ewer's intricate details, making it a must-have for any collector of 18th-century ceramics or porcelain.
