Victoria and Albert: porcelain collection: Coalport

Who says that more is not more? Makes an impression, does it not?

Flower-encrusted “Coalbrookdale ware” was made from 1820’s until about 1840’s.

(Porcelain flowers were once the exclusive specialty of Sevres; other porcelain factories – like Meissen – bought them in bulk to incorporate them into their products. They are very hard to come by these days. Keep your eyes peeled: spotting them is harder than trains).
