A rare and important New Hall plate painted by Fidelle Duvivier, c.1785-90, the well painted with two figures on horseback between trees, the lobed rim with a formal panelled border in gilt and turquoise, 21cm.

Provenance: Rod Jellicoe.

This plate is believed to be part of a New Hall service made for John Daniel and sold to a Mr Gray (believed Thomas Cartlidge Gray of Hanley) in 1830 as part of a sale of Daniel's effects. Cf. Geoffrey Godden, New Hall Porcelains, pp.166-173 for a detailed discussion of this service.
