This delightful Keeling (Factory 'X')  slops bowl  has a shanked body (spiral moulded fluting) with underglaze blue border and floral enamel and gilt decoration. The item is very well and finely potted and dates from c1800-1805.


The decoration of the slops bowl includes an underglaze cobalt blue wide border to the inner rim of the bowl. This border has open white ovals in which are orange flower heads with gilded dots at their centre.

 

A delicate foliate swag threads its way around the floral panels within the blue band. Below the blue band border there is a very delicately gilded fine foliate swag. The fine quality of the gilding is excellent.

The ovals into which the flowers are applied are given a gilded frame and the border is edged on either side with a gilt line in a honey rich gold.

 

Around the body of the tea bowl is a gilt line and a further gilt line runs around the raised foot rim. There is a gilded star in the base of the slops bowl.

This is a fine Factory 'X' (Keeling) Slops Bowl, Shanked body with blue border, red flowers and gilded swags, pattern 94, c1800-1805.
