A Chamberlain & Co Worcester Porcelain Dessert Dish c.1840

A Chamberlain & Co Worcester Porcelain Dessert Dish c.1840. Of lobed square form with gilt gadrooned rim. The central well very finely decorated with a view of Derwent Water & Lowdore, Cumberland.

The border decorated with a deep cobalt blue ground, enriched with a raised paste gilding and finely painted butterflies and moths around the central picture. 

This form of dish and it's decoration is very much in the style of Flight, Barr & Barr Worcester porcelains from the 1820's. Following the merger of Flight Barr & Barr & Chamberlain Worcester in 1840, a lot of earlier, popular shapes and patterns from the 1820's were re-used. 

Condition: Good. Some minor surface scratches
