Dr Wall First Period Worcester Sugar Box England Circa 1775

This 18th-century First Period Worcester Porcelain sugar box was hand painted featuring beautiful swags painted with green leaves, purple plums, and two-tone purple and yellow apples. Each swag is tied with a purple ribbon in an elegant bow. Green leaves and two-tone plums hang from each ribbon. The cover finial is crafted as a budding rose painted in gorgeous pinkish purple and yellow supported by two green leaves. The sugar box’s border and cover are both adorned with a band of underglaze blue and a chain of golden ribbons and are gently lobed, which adds visual excitement as light plays over the curved surfaces. Made in England circa 1775, this sugar box is a gem! Dimensions: 5″ tall x 4.5″ diameter Condition: Excellent Marks: On the underside is the Worcester First Period crescent in underglaze blue (see last image). Early Worcester Porcelain marks are rarely seen—a blue crescent mark (seen here) dates pieces back to the ‘First’ or ‘Dr Wall’ period (1751-1783).
