Chamberlain (English (Worcester), founded 1783-), circa early 19th century. A fine porcelain 3-piece fruit cooler in the "Dragon in Compartments" pattern having a round body raised on four bun feet with flaring squared handles at shoulder, a round insert with overhanging rim, and a round dished lid with scroll finial, the set finely hand painted with an Orientalist motif in tones of red, green, blue, and pink to a white ground with traditional Chinese motif of fu dogs, dragons, peony blossoms, diaper patterning, and floral scrolls. Apparently unmarked. Overall approximate height 9.375", width over handles 9". Note: Chamberlain merged with Flight, Barr & Barr in 1840. A similar pattern to this is often attributed as Bengal Tiger.
Significant breaks and repairs to side and base of liner. Re-gilded and retouched. Repaired crack to lid with retouched gilding and paint. Losses to gilding, especially to edges, handles, and feet, overall. Some losses to enameling. Inherent crack to interior bowl, likely from manufacturing. Areas of inpainting. Not overly distracting - observed under black light. Dusty.
