THE PROPERTY OF A MARYLAND COLLECTOR (LOTS 225-229)
The following five lots are painted in the same pattern, variously known as 'Kylin', 'Bengal Tiger' and 'Dragon and Compartments'. Taken directly from an early 18th century Chinese famille verte design of the Kangxi period, it proved to be extremely popular and was produced at Worcester, Coalport, Spode, and other English factories. Wares are often unmarked, making firm attribution to a given factory difficult unless the shape itself is particular to that firm or the piece is marked. Idiosyncratic variations such as the 'seaweed' gilding and slightly more elobgated beasts found on Coalport examples are helpful indications of the maker.
