A Chamberlain's Worcester bough pot and cover c.1815-20

A Chamberlain's Worcester bough pot and cover c.1815-20, the D-shape form split into three panels separated by raised columns surmounted by lion masks, the central panel painted with figures on an old brick bridge above a waterfall, the two smaller panels with landscapes on a gilt vermicelli ground, the stepped cover with two roles of holes and an artichoke finial, titled in the gilt to the base with 'The Bridge and great Cataract at alata', 20cm across.

Cf. Geoffrey Godden, Chamberlain's Worcester, pls.344 and 345. This example appears to be an interesting transition between the two forms, having the flattened columns of the later model, but the bun feet of the earlier. The central scene is copied from a print in James Bruce's 'Travels in Abyssinia'.
