The Details π
Maker: James Kent Ltd. (Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England). π·οΈ
Pattern: "Du Barry" , An iconic, all-over floral chintz featuring a dense tapestry of pink, yellow, and violet blossoms. πΈ
Period: Circa 1940s. β³
Material: Fine English Earthenware / China. β
Whatβs Included π¦
Square Handled Divided Dish: A unique, "sweet meat" or bon-bon dish with a central divider and two elegantly molded handles. π¬
Scalloped Serving Bowl: A deep, circular bowl with a beautifully ruffled edge that highlights the intricate floral pattern. π₯£
Pattern & Color Palette π¨
Visual Condition: The actual floral pattern is in great shape on both items, remaining vibrant and clear with no fading or decoration loss to the top-facing surfaces. β
Tonal Variation: Please note that as is common with authentic vintage sets, there is a subtle tonal variation between the two pieces. The bowl possesses a slightly deeper, more saturated warmth in its color palette compared to the dish. When displayed together, this adds to the unique, curated character of the set. π¨
Condition Report π
These pieces are in lovely vintage condition and display beautifully. π
Gold Trim: There is only slight wear to the gold trim on the edges of both items; the gilding remains in good shape and still provides a beautiful, bright frame for the floral pattern. β¨
Crazing: Both items show signs of crazing (fine hairline cracks in the glaze) specifically on the underside. This is a natural aging process for English earthenware of this era and is not visible when the items are on display. π°οΈ
Structural Integrity: No chips, cracks, or repairs to the main bodies of either piece. π
