Catalogue note
Ten sided bowls of this form are rare in Chelsea porcelain. Of the few recorded in the literature, perhaps the closest is the example painted in the so-called "flaming tortoise" pattern, in the British Museum, London, bequeathed in 1887 by Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks, reg. no. 1887,0307,II.101. The 1755 sale catalogue of the factory lists as lot 6 on the 5th day: "Two ten square basons of the flaming tortoise pattern, and 2 ditto butterflies old pattern".
