Spoon Tray, Decorated by James Hammett O'neale, Bow, circa 1760
About the Item
From a Bow service with decoration attributed to the painter Jeffryes Hammett O'Neale, probably in the London workshop of James Giles. The tray with shallow rim and shaped outline with gilt on red border, and painted with a river scene of a castle on a treed island; the foreground with fence and tree, the sky with flocks of birds; all in painted enamels.
Prov: Taylor Collection; Robyn Robb 2002; Sotheby’s London 1962.
It appears that only one Bow service was produced with this decoration, possibly through outside decoration of assembled Bow items in the white. Other pieces, decorated by the same hand, and apparently from the same service, include: (i) Teabowl and saucer, Gardiner Museum, Toronto (G 83.1.0807.1-2), as circa 1755-60. (ii) Coffee cup and saucer, V&A, Bequest Mrs Selwyn Parkinson, C. 7&A-1965, as circa 1755-60, H. 7.0 cm. (iii) Teapot, oval, Spero, 1995/2012, [and Tilley 1957, Plate XXIV, Teapot and Stand].
While there is traditional attribution to O’Neale, 1734-1801, no signed examples are recorded, and no documentary links between Bow and O’Neale exist. There is however support for attribution to O’Neale on grounds of style and technique. The subject, the palette, and the castle are all hallmarks of his work.

- Bow Porcelain Orphaned Coffee Cup, Famille Rose Peony, circa 1755By Bow PorcelainLocated in London, GBThis is a very charming orphaned coffee cup made by the Bow Porcelain factory in about 1755. The cup is decorated in a Chinese "famille rose" peony pattern. This cup would have been part of a large tea service, and the tiny size shows how expensive coffee was in the 18th Century. The Bow Porcelain Factory was one of the first potteries in Britain to make soft paste porcelain, and most probably the very first to use bone ash, which later got perfected by Josiah Spode to what is now the universally used "bone china". Bow was the main competitor of the Chelsea Porcelain Factory, but where Chelsea made very fine slipcast porcelain, Bow made a different soft paste porcelain that tended to be softer and could be pressed into moulds. Bow served a larger public generally at lower prices. The factory was only in operation between 1743 and 1774, after which the tradition got incorporated into some of the later famous potteries such as Worcester and Derby. The cup is unmarked, which is normal for Bow items of this era. Condition report the cup is in excellent condition without any damage or repairs. There are various glazing imperfections, which are quite normal for porcelain of this era. Antique British porcelain...Category
