Description: A RARE PAIR OF CHINESE EXPORT PINK 'FITZHUGH' DISHES Ca. 1810 Finely painted to the centre in vibrant pink enamels with four different floral clusters representing the Chinese arts surrounding a central medallion painted in gilt with a landscape scene, all bordered by a gilt trellis band and a finely painted diaper and trellis border. 25cm (97/8in) et 25.4cm (10in) diam.(2). Footnotes 1810 The name of the pattern on this pair of dishes derives from a blue and white service of the same pattern ordered around 1780 by Thomas Fitzhugh, who served as the director of the British East India Company Fitzhugh in Guangzhou from 1786 to 1800. Porcelains of this name survive in a variety of shapes and were particularly popular in America. While the blue and white Fitzhugh pattern was the most common, the pattern was also made in yellow, black and pink enamels. This pair of dishes may originally have been part of a possibly unique dinner service decorated with the distinctive pink or puce 'Fitzhugh' pattern, made for the American market, a large part of which was in the Garbisch Collection at Pokety Farms, sold Sotheby's, 22 and 23 May 1980, lots 333-345.
