Oblong Spoon Tray 1765 - 1770

This Oblong Spoon Tray, produced by the Worcester Porcelain Works (a.k.a. Royal Worcester Porcelain Company) between 1765 and 1770, is a fine example of 18th-century English porcelain. The tray is decorated with a cobalt blue ground and features four circular panels with colorful floral motifs and gilded accents. The decorative style of the tray, known as "Imari," is a reflection of the popular East Asian porcelain designs that were being imported to Europe at the time. The tray’s scalloped edge adds visual interest and enhances the overall elegant appearance.
