DescriptionThis is a pair of Worcester scalloped deep dishes. Each is painted in shades of rose, purple, iron-red, yellow, and green with a lush floral cluster within a slightly recessed and scalloped central medallion surrounded by fluting. The rim has a gros bleu border between gilt C-scrolls, demi-blossoms, and trefoil motifs at the lower edge and a gilt dentil band at the upper edge. There is a script W marked in underglaze blue.ProvenanceHenry Clay Hofheimer, II
