Unusual Unattributed Bowl c.1760

A very unusual slop bowl decorated in underglaze blue in the style of Richard Chaffers, yet exhibiting phosphatic characteristics. This bowl is particularly difficult to attribute & could be by one of the rarer Liverpool factories, or perhaps even an unrecognised one.

Condition is good with only a few minor rim abbrations & typical phosphatic staining as shown.

With decoration of hollow rocks & trailing plants, this bowl has a very strong influence from Liverpool, particularly Chaffers, yet it is clearly phosphatic, suggesting perhaps William Reid instead. However, I have been assured by a leading Liverpool expert that it is categorically not from any of the Liverpool factories, nor Isleworth which was another contender. It is very unusual & very difficult to attribute.

The main producers of phosphatic porcelain were Bow, but again this is totally uncharacteristic, the paste is wrong, & the quality is a rather too unsophisticated for Bow of this date, it appears more like the output of a factory in the early stages of production.

A very unusual & difficult to attribute bowl which will compliment any collection of Antique English Porcelain.
