Provenance
Zorensky Collection, Bonhams, 22 February 2006, lot 33 (tureen and cover);
With W W Warner Antiques, 2011
Literature
Sandon, John and Spero, Simon, Worcester Porcelain, 1996, p.119, no.86;
White, Mary, Eating at the Whites' House, Vol.3, 2022, p.474, fig.a
Mary White illustrates the present lot alongside a Chelsea version and it may be that cauliflower tureens such as this were copied from Chelsea examples made a few years earlier. However, they ultimately originated at Meissen. A very similar example on an identical leaf stand is illustrated by John Sandon, , 2008, p.63, no.34. Worcester did not make vegetable tureens in other forms and the leaf stands survive in much greater numbers than the tureens, suggesting that they may have been sold alone as dessert dishes. Whilst the stand in the present lot has not always been with the tureen, they complement each other very well. Around 1760 a small number of cauliflowers were decorated with transfer-printed butterflies, see for example the pair sold by Bonhams on 27 November 2024, lot 203.
