A Worcester footed bowl and cover, circa 1785-88 The raised bowl and domed cover with elaborate entwined handles washed in pale green, leaves and flowers applied at the terminals picked out in gold, florals sprigs, buds and leaves painted in green camaieu, 20cm high, cover with incised 6 (2) Footnotes: Provenance Zorensky Collection Robert and Celia Morris Collection Gerald Moore Collection This may have served as a centrepiece for a supper set, although no full sets containing corresponding shapes have been recorded. The elaborate handles and knop were probably modelled by John Toulouse during his second spell at Worcester around 1785-88. A similar form printed in underglaze blue from the Zorensky Collection was sold by Bonhams on 23 February 2005, lot 374. Both examples exhibit a certain lean, perhaps explaining why there are few examples of this shape.
