Please see our new website-periodceramicsandantiques.orgDescription.
We do not generally point out crazing, and do not regard it as a defect worth mentioning in pieces of the age we sell, unless it is not completely noticeable in photographs and is both extensive and undiscoloured. If you have concerns as to whether a piece is crazed, please ask us.
A wonderful example of the porcelain painter's art. This saucer was painted by Moses Webster, one of the greatest Derby painters. It was said that when he painted a rose, one could smell it. This example illustrates that fact extremely well-though the painting of the passionflower is, arguably, even better. We attach further photos of Webster's work, in order that one can easily see, though unsigned, that it is by Webster.
Webster undertook his apprenticeship at Derby, but left for London in around 1817. Most of his most important work was undertaken 1820-5.
Carelessly executed marks and the number 83. Collector's mark for the Geoffrey Sell collection.
Condition.
Minor gilt wear and fine crazing, not visible except in close inspection. Otherwise, in very fine antique condition.

We do not offer combined purchase. The time it takes to source and pack items is considerable.
Important
International buyers will be charged postage at cost. We use the Royal mail, tracked and signed. If you wish for a quotation prior to buying, please contact us. Do not pay for the item until we have had the opportunity of delivering an invoice to you, preferably by PayPal (please let us have your PayPal address).
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
