Antique English Dinnerware Set, Royal Worcester

Embossed pink & gold 29 piece set.  From Worcester's Kerr & Binns period 1852 to 1862.  A very rare set of fine antique English bone china.  Great translucency.  Hand painted raised pink posies with twisted gold ribbon border, also raised.  Please enlarge the pictures for a better look.

Included are:
(11) 9 3/4 inch dinner plates
(8) 8 7/8 inch luncheon plates
(7) 9 3/4 inch rimmed soup bowls
(1) 16 1/4 by 13 1/2 inch turkey platter
(1) pedestal vegetable bowl with dome lid.  It measures 12 inches across the pretty twig handles.

Condition:  Plates and bowls are all excellent!  The surfaces are still pretty and shiny with minimal wear.  The turkey platter has a small minor crack under the rim as shown.  The pedestal bowl is in excellent condition but the lid is cracked and is unstable.

If I were to keep this set, I would have the lid professionally repaired because it is absolutely beautiful.  Looks like it is right out of a Charlotte Bronte novel.

Antique English bone china under plate, pre Royal Worcester

7 3/4 by 9 1/2 across the pretty handles.  Presumed for a sauce bowl.  Embossed pink with blue, & gold.  From Worcester's Kerr & Binns period 1852 to 1862.  Antique English bone china.  Great translucency.  Hand painted raised pink posies with twisted blue ribbon border, also raised.

Condition:  We have two of these.  Both are excellent condition, one has more wear on the inside band than the other.

Marked "Chamberlain's Worcester" in gold script inside the lid.   Pre Royal Worcester.  Classic English Regency style with distinctive swan handles and bold Imari colors so fashionable in 1820s England.  Six inches tall with the lid.  The front and back decorations are the same as shown in the last picture.
(Identification assistance from Robert S. at JustAnswer.)

Condition:  The lid is missing the finial.
 

6 1/4 inches tall.  Swirl pattern in the blush ivory.  Gold rings with raised stipples.

Marked for Royal Worcester date code "0" for 1889.  Decorator's mark "JD."  Impressed Worcester logo and model 553.

Condition:  One handle is chipped but both have tiny craze lines just on top (probably from impact when chipped).  We checked it all over with a black light and see no cracks or repairs.  The gold looks good and appears to be original.
 

During the early years of Royal Worcester from the Kerr & Binn company 1862 their designs daringly  incorporated many cultures including India.  This appears to be handles of an Indian elephant and brightly painted with flowers and an exotic bird resembling a black ibis of India.

Marked with an impressed crowned Kerr & Binn's circular mark and M for 1877.

About 9 1/2 inches across the handles.  Holds 3 cups comfortably.

Condition:  The lid handle has a staple repairs.  The toes are chipped.  No crazing, no cracks.  It is clean inside and out.
 

5 1/2 inches across.  Sometimes called the pagoda pattern.  Could be a saucer but it does not have a cup well.  Marked with an impressed Kerr & Binns mark with the addition of the crown when Royal Worcester acquired them, so this would date shortly after 1862.

Condition:  No chips or cracks or crazing but the gold is worn from the edge.
 

Coffee cup & saucer transfer printed from Robert Hancock's copper engraving on 18th century English soft past porcelain.  Robert Hancock was a partner at the Dr Wall (1st period) Worcester factory beginning in 1757.

A romantic garden scene.  Of interest for collectors are the changes to the L'Amour` pattern.  For instance this cup has a gardener with a garden roller and the saucer has no gardener but the roller is laying on the ground.  And many other little differences are found from piece to piece.

The cup must have been printed shortly after 1757 as it is printed over glaze, which I prefer as the black appears darker and better defined.  It is 2 3/8 inches tall and unmarked.
The saucer is printed underglaze.  4 5/8 inches across.  It is not marked.

Condition:  The cup looks good.  The saucer has been broken and reglued as shown.
