A very rare Worcester porcelain butter boat painted in polychrome enamels with flowers in yellow, green and light blue over a red outline . Geranium moulded leaves for the outside with a shaped rim and short stalk forming the top of the handle. Unmarked, c.1755-1756.

Butter boats and pickle dishes are very rarely decorated in polychrome enamels because the acids in the food that would be placed inside would react with the enamel colours. They quickly became decorated solely in underglaze blue so these early enamelled examples are very rare and I haven't seen an example in this combination of colours.

It measures 8.1cm (3 3/16") long, 6cm (2 5/16") wide and 3.5cm (1 3/8") high.

In excellent condition. One small scuffed chip to the rim edge and a couple of tiny nicks to the edge of the stalk. No other damage, repair or restoration. The enamels are lovely and bright. Payment is accepted by bank transfer, card payments (via an online invoice, I'm afraid we cannot take payments over the telephone), Paypal and UK personal cheque.
