A Very Rare Silver Form Bow Platter in the Kakiemon Quail Pattern, depicting a scene of two quails, one painted in iron-red, the other in blue and green tipped wing feathers, beneath an arched prunus tree with blue painted trunk and iron-red and gilt decorated flowers in bloom. Floral sprigs are painted scattered across the surface. An iron-red and gilt decorated floral border is painted along inside rim of the scalloped edge of the oval platter, in the form of a rococo silver shape after Nicholas Sprimont’s original silver designs found at Chelsea. The platter is moulded with undulating scalloped sides and shell pattern handles in relief at the ends.
