Dating to the very early days of Minton, 1820's - 30's, named landscape and magnificent floral painting on a globe bone china POT POURRI. It was probably the work of artist John Beard. Measurements: 6 1/2" high; 11" from end to end. Globe shaped. Surface is decorated with richly coloured, modelled applied flowers. These floral encrusted pieces were done in the Dresden style and Minton also copied the Meissen mark of crossed swords. However, the models are well-documented as being Minton (this is shape 19 in the pattern book). One side of the piece has a truly magnificent floral painting covering it's surface and the other shows a landscape with a rich waterfall and small people standing on a rocky outcrop below. The scene is inscribed in handwritten script below as LYDFORD CASCADE. Green twist handles extend to well over the sides of the piece, tendrils ending in a variety of modelled flowers. Marks:Underneath is the imitation Meissen / Dresden mark, known to be used by Minton at that period for these very special pieces. The bottom of the piece, below the landscape is inscribed "Lydford Cascade' in purple script. Condition: for it's age and delicacy, the piece is in very good condition. There are the expected chips to the encrusted flowers, but paint and gilding are in excellent shape.
