Figure 5 Tureen, Chelsea
Porcelain Factory, London, England, ca. 1754. Soft-paste porcelain. H. 10
1/2". (Courtesy, Winterthur Museum.) The molded and ornamented design
of this tureen reflects the silversmith training of Nicholas Sprimont; it
is embellished with enamel-painted decoration and gilding attributed to
Jefferys Hamett ONeale. Traditionally thought to have been made for
Warren Hastings, now of the Campbell Soup Tureen Collection. |
