A CHELSEA PORCELAIN CABBAGE LEAF DISH CIRCA 1755

naturalistically modeled as a large puce-veined leaf shaded around the ruffled edge in yellow and green, and the curved stalk forming a handle, red anchor mark. Some restoration.

An approximate 2x4-in. section of the tip of the leaf has been broken and restored back. The center with some very minor speckling, mostly near the central rib; and the rim with a few very small chips (2 and 3-mm.), one 2-mm chip showing on the edge at about 11 o'clock at one end of a repaired 5 x 2 ¼-inch (12.7 2.7-cm.) chunk at the non-handle end, and other chips have been touched-up with green enamel, but of no real consequence. The handle with a hair crack through its middle.
