EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning porcelain stand from the renowned Chelsea Porcelain Factory, dating back to around 1755. The Chelsea porcelain factory was a prominent ceramic manufacturer in mid-18th century England and this particular piece is an exceptional example of their craftsmanship. The highlight of this artwork is the large tureen in the shape of a hen with her chicks, which has long been recognized as one of the factory's finest creations. The condition of Cleveland Museum of Art's amusing hen with her chicks is remarkably well-preserved, adding to its allure. What makes this print even more special is that it features not only the tureen but also a matching stand that was originally intended to accompany it. This recent reunion brings together two pieces that were meant to be displayed together, enhancing their historical significance and aesthetic appeal. The decoration on both the tureen and stand includes intricate floral motifs, leaves, and ornamental elements. The delicate details showcase the skillful artistry employed by English craftsmen during the 18th century. Displayed at Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this exquisite porcelain ensemble stands as a testament to the beauty and mastery achieved by artists working at Chelsea Porcelain Factory over two centuries ago.
