An attractive 18th-century English porcelain bowl, transfer-printed in underglaze blue, c.1770–1785. Likely Worcester (First Period / Dr Wall) or Caughley.
The exterior displays two alternating printed scenes: the well-known "Fence" pattern featuring peonies and abundant flowers behind a lattice garden fence and a landscape with birds in flight among trees, rockwork, and foliage. The interior centre is printed with a peony spray, and the rim is bordered with a double blue concentric line. The base has a faint underglaze blue mark which is indistinct.
The "Fence" pattern (reference: Branyan, French & Sandon, pattern II.B.9) was one of the most popular chinoiserie transfer-printed designs of the period, produced at both the Worcester and Caughley factories. It draws on Chinese export porcelain for its inspiration and remains highly sought after by collectors of early English porcelain.
A lovely example of 18th-century English blue and white porcelain.
