A First Period Worcester Porcelain Rich Kakiemon Pattern Vase c.1770

A very fine First Period Worcester porcelain vase c.1770. The small ovoid vase, with flared neck and double 'C' scroll handles, finely decorated with a rich 'Kakiemon' pattern. Although these designs are loosely based on the Kakiemon porcelain of Japan, the Worcester factory's lavish interpretation of the beasts and plants is a very different art form and very much their own invention. Square seal mark to the base.

Condition: Excellent
