The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862.... a dessert service, together with a plateau in imitation of the Italian majolica ware...The plateau contains "The Worship of the Golden Calf, " painted by Mr. George Eyre...The centrepiece consists of a rich base, on which rests a florid pedestal surrounded by three female figures and a tazza resting on the pedestal. The tazza and base are in porcelain and the pedestal and figures in Parian. The tazza is perforated and enriched with gold, magenta pencillings, and mauve bands; and also by medallions of fruit and flowers, and a floral border...The figures represent the attendants at the marriage festivity in the classic age, with the symbols of merriment; their girdles are gold, their coronets mauve and gold, and the drapery is bounded by a band of mauve bordered with gold. On the base of the corner-dishes rest three figures in a sitting posture - Peace, Industry, Commerce...The pedestals of the cream-bowls are surrounded by children birdnesting; and the other dishes are sustained by boys grouped with greyhounds. The whole of this service is very beautiful...the colours delicate and harmonious, and the enrichment chaste and subdued'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning porcelain display, titled "The International Exhibition: Group of porcelain articles by Sir James Duke and Nephews, 1862," showcases an exquisite collection of tableware created by the renowned English family of ceramists. The set includes a dessert service and a plateau, modeled after the Italian majolica ware. The plateau is a true masterpiece, featuring the painting "The Worship of the Golden Calf" by George Eyre. The centerpiece boasts a rich base, adorned with three female figures and a perforated tazza resting atop a pedestal. The tazza and base are made of porcelain, while the pedestal and figures are in Parian. The tazza is intricately decorated with gold, magenta pencillings, and mauve bands, as well as medallions of fruit and flowers and a floral border. The figures on the plateau represent attendants at a marriage festivity in the classic age, dressed in gold girdles, mauve and gold coronets, and drapery with mauve borders. The base of the corner-dishes holds three figures in a sitting posture - Peace, Industry, and Commerce. The pedestals of the cream-bowls are surrounded by children birdnesting, and other dishes are supported by boys grouped with greyhounds. The entire service is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the Duke and Nephews family. The colors are delicate and harmonious, and the enrichment is chaste and subdued, making this a truly exquisite addition to any table setting.
