This eighteenth century soft paste porcelain square dessert dish is executed in Worcester's magnificent "Old Mosaic" pattern. In this Japanese Imari inspired design, eight panels of different patterns -- studded with circular stylized crests -- are laid out around the perimeter of the dish. The circular open space left in the center is finished with a wreath of prunus. Four of the panels are executed in underglaze blue: two blue and white, two solid blue with gilding. The four alternating panels are richly enameled with floral and diaper patterns in red, green, turquoise, puce and yellow.
