A Chelsea-Derby 'Encampment Scene' sucrier and cover, circa 1783 Of plain circular form with a pointed finial, painted in puce monochrome with a continuous landscape, including three soldiers on horseback within a small military encampment, a cottage and a broad stretch of water to the reverse, the rims and finial picked out in gold, 11.5cm high, gold anchor mark (2) Fußnoten Provenance R David Butti Collection A closely related teapot and cover, by the same hand and very probably from the same service, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession no. C.204:1, 2-1985. The painting is likely to be by Zachariah Boreman at Chelsea, just prior to his departure for Derby at the end of 1783 or early 1784. This date is consistent with the use of a gold anchor mark. The teapot is of a continental form not otherwise recorded at Derby suggesting that the service was a special order, perhaps a replacement or matching and explaining the continental style of the decoration.
