Description

Description.

A truly superb example of a Regency fruit cooler, complete with original cover and liner. A relatively unusual form. I have not located an identical piece, though Geoffrey Godden illustrates a somewhat similar piece as colour plate XX of his standard text.

The piece is of campagna shape, surmounted by a heavily gilded, plant shaped knob, beneath which is a lobed rosette. The lower section of the cover consists of shaped cartouches, within which are finely executed painted roses, juxtaposed with a rich cobalt blue ground. The body of the piece is extravagantly moulded. The rim is gadrooned, beneath which is a band of oval lobes. The central section of the body consists of cobalt blue and white grounds, divided by thick gilt bands. Shaped cartouches break the cobalt ground and contain further painted roses. The lower part of this central section is painted with elaborate floral bouquets. The handles are braided, and are decorated with moulded grape bunches. The handle terminals take satyr mask-head form. The base of the piece and the lower part of the body are also again of moulded lobed form.

The interior of the cover is signed.

Condition.

In superb antique condition. Restoration to one of the grape bunch stalks. Crazing to the base of the body and the interior of the cover. There appear to be no cracks or hairlines, or any other obvious restoration. Wear commensurate with age and use.

Dimensions.

This is a large and heavy piece. 30 cm in height.29cm in diameter-handle to handle.

Please see our other items. If you like what we see, we also have unlisted items and pieces that are on on other platforms. If there is anything that you specifically collect, please contact us and we will do our best to assist.

If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.

When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.

We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.

We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.

Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
