Lot Essay

Anticipating their sale to erudite collectors, George Owen often worked without pay on highly detailed pieces of this type during quiet periods at the Royal Worcester Factory. Over the course of several months he spent painstaking hours on each fragile vessel-- easily ruined by the smallest slip of the hand or by firings in the kiln. For a more detailed discussion on George Owen's experiments see H. Sandon, Royal Worcester Porcelain, London, 1978, p. 31.
