“Messrs. Daniell have so many good things from Coalport Works that it
would be difficult to present even a brief mention of them all.
There is one beautiful pair of vases in imitation Cashmere ware which
Sir R. Wallace has already purchased, and the same gentleman has also
secured a number of plates delightfully painted by Faugeron with
exotic leaves. Two portrait vases of the Emperor and Empress of
Austria are of old Sèvres shape, the bodies being of turquoise and
gold, and the paintings by Palmere, almost miniatures in their fine
detail. Two gros bleu vases, with raised and chased gold
ornamentation and panels, choicely painted with birds by Randall, are
as elegant as a pair of jardinières, with a cobalt ground and gold
ferns and grasses in relief, butterflies touched up in bright enamel,
toning the otherwise too great richness of the dark gold and blue.
These are only a few of the attractions of one of the finest, though
not largest, cases in the section. Messrs. Pellatt exhibit some
Coalport ware, which is in every respect worthy of the high repute of
that renowned manufactory.”
