The International Exhibition: the Queen's Dessert Service, manufactured at the Royal... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: the Queen's Dessert Service, manufactured at the Royal Porcelain Works, Worcester, by W. H. Kerr, 1862. This costly service...is unique in its application of colour to enamels, enamel decoration to a service, and the general treatment of the design...the costliness and difficulty of production was immensely increased by no device being repeated, while each plate contains five subjects, and for the plates alone upwards of four hundred designs have been made. Painted enamels, ever since their introduction in the fifteenth century, have been greatly esteemed, and have been eagerly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, the relief character of the painting bringing about a combination of the arts of modelling and painting...The whole of this service, we are led to understand, was produced under the immediate approval of the late Prince Consort, and the design for each article was submitted before being modelled. His late Royal Highness took the deepest interest in encouraging this manufacture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph showcases The International Exhibition: the Queen's Dessert Service, manufactured at the Royal Porcelain Works in Worcester in 1862. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but the service is renowned for its groundbreaking use of color in enamels and unique design. Each plate in this costly service features five distinct subjects, with over four hundred designs created specifically for them. Painted enamels, which have been admired since their introduction in the fifteenth century, combine the arts of modeling and painting, resulting in intricate and visually stunning pieces. The production of this service was a complex and labor-intensive process, with no designs repeated and each plate requiring individual attention. The late Prince Consort, Prince Albert, took a keen interest in the manufacture and approved each design before it was brought to fruition. This service represents a significant achievement in the history of porcelain production, with its innovative application of color and design, as well as its attention to detail and artistic merit. The International Exhibition: the Queen's Dessert Service is not only a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creators but also a beautiful example of the artistic collaboration between the arts of modeling and painting.
