Code: 10442

Dimensions:

A set of 15 Chamberlain Worcester Porcelain Plates c.1802-1805.   Richly decorated in the popular ''Japan'' pattern number 240. The decoration is a beautiful example of the Regency ''Japan" style from the early 19th Century. This wonderful, colourful and intriguing pattern is one of the many "Japan" patterns that came out around that time and was called the "Fine Old Japan" pattern from 1802. Admiral Nelson ordered an entire service in the pattern but with the additions of his own crests and therefore this pattern is often called the "Nelson" pattern.

Marked pattern 240 to the reverse in red.

Condition: Excellent with just very minor surface wear on a few 

A service using the same 'Fine Old Japan' pattern 240 was ordered by Admiral Lord Nelson in 1802.
