| Place of origin |
This dish, filled with peas and pease blossom is an example of porcelain modelled after nature. It is one of a pair, its partner dish being filled with walnuts. In style it is of the English Rococo revival.
Rococo style came to England from France in the 1730s, was out of fashion by the 1770s and enjoyed a long revival from about 1820. English companies such as Coalport catered for the enthusiasm for eighteenth-century porcelain of French and German factories such as Sèvres and Meissen, with their swirling forms and bright sugary colours.
