This is another museum worthy cabinet plate made by Worcester ca. 1880  retailed by A.B. Daniell and Son, London.This decoration epitomies the description "Japonism" to a T and Aesthetic Movement par excellance!

The detailed painting of an artist includes the painter and artist as well as the actual subject of his painting. The incredible raised paste gold is breathtaking as well as the workmanship of the plate- this is a masterful painting on porcelain rather than canvas of equal beauty and talent. The artist is interacting with the framed artwork and embellished with hand painted polychrome enamels and gilding depicting musical instruments. Made in England, Excellent condition commensurate with age.
