Item Details

Description

A South Staffordshire enamel writing box, circa 1765
Of rectangular shape, the interior with compartments and containing two glass bottles with enamel tops, decorated with a light sky-blue ground heightened with white diaper pattern and reserving rococo panels, the top finely painted with two 'fancy birds', ducks, a kingfisher and a 'bird on an overturned basket', the side panels with further ducks, pigeons and a finch, 15.5cm wide
Footnotes:
As with many pieces of early Staffordshire enamel, the painted subjects follow printed designs in use at Birmingham and in Staffordshire at the same period. Some of these birds mirror Robert Hancock prints while the 'fancy birds' may be based on the subject used on a plaque sold by Bonhams on 23 June 2021, lot 111.
