A rare English porcelain pickle dish attributed to Lund's Bristol, circa 1749-50 Moulded in the form of a scallop shell, painted in blue with a house on an island behind a gnarled pine tree, surrounded by Chinese feather and ribbon motifs, a shell flanked by two leaves below, trailing leafy branches to the underside, 11.6cm long Fußnoten The underside of this dish conforms to category C6 as described by Ray Jones The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.387. Whilst traditionally attributed to Limehouse, analysis of the pickle dish from the Sutherland Collection sold by Bonhams on 3 October 2007, lot 108, which is decorated in a remarkably similar manner and also has the C6 type underside, reveals that the paste undoubtedly contains soaprock (see Jones, p.251, no.vii). This suggests a Lund's Bristol attribution.
