A collection of Bow and Isleworth porcelain, circa 1760-70 Comprising two small Isleworth plates, each painted in blue with a Chinese riverscape, fan and circular shaped panels in the border, on a powder blue ground, 18cm diam, pseudo-Chinese marks, a small Bow bowl, similarly decorated, 13cm diam, pseudo-Chinese mark, a hexagonal plate, perhaps Isleworth, with a Chinese landscape, the cavetto with a flowerhead and diaper panelled border, the rim with formal flower sprays below a line rim, four trailing sprays to the underside of the rim, 21.7cm wide, together with a teabowl and saucer, also perhaps Isleworth, painted with the 'Mansfield' pattern, saucer 11.4cm diam (6) Footnotes: Provenance Anton Gabszewicz Collection Literature Anton Gabszewicz, 'Later Bow Porcelain: a suggested chronology', ECC Trans, Vol.27 (2016), p.56, fig.17 (one powder blue plate) The matter of attribution to Isleworth is complex. See Nicholas Panes, Ray Howard and Professor J Victor Owen, 'Attribution Enhanced - 'Isleworth Porcelain' Re-examined', ECC Trans, Vol.24 (2013). Distinguishing features associated with powder blue pieces attributed to Isleworth are discussed at p.98-99 and include the oval cupola on the roof of the building, seen on both small plates in this lot and rather tighter pseudo-Chinese character marks when compared with pieces said to be Bow. An octagonal platter similar to the octagonal plate in the present lot is illustrated at p.100, fig.16. It is noted as 'sometimes attributed to Isleworth' but the authors suggest that a Bow origin is more likely.
