A rare Chelsea teabowl, circa 1750-52 Of fluted form, delicately painted in the famille rose palette with trailing oriental flowering plants and grasses, the reverse with a flowering branch, the interior with a single flower, 4.9cm high, inventory numbers in red Fußnoten Nicholas Sprimont chose not to compete with contemporary Chinese famille rose porcelain, preferring to leave this cheaper end of the market to his rivals at Bow. Chinese decoration on Chelsea is therefore surprisingly rare and mostly copied Yongzheng 'private trade' wares from the 1730s. When it does occur, it is of the highest quality. Two raised anchor beakers with very similar decoration are illustrated by F. Severne Mackenna, Chelsea Porcelain: The Triangle and Raised Anchor Wares (1948), pl.18, no.41.
