Description

A Quaker Pegg Derby botanical plate with Great Blue-bottle study c.1813-15.Description. Superbly painted in the inimitable style of William 'Quaker' Pegg, with a magnificent botanical study of "Great Blue bottle" (more commonly known as Cornflower today). The quality of the painting matches the best work of Pegg, as illustrated, for example, in John Twitchett's "Derby Porcelain 1748 1848" (see colour plate 51 for a similar composition). The rim gilding is also of superlative quality, featuring a variety of exotic beasts,
