Item Details

Description

A rare Chinese Export porcelain small plate depicting the Philadelphia Water Works 1820-1840

Overglaze blue enamel with gold highlights.

(Dia: 6 1/4 in.)

Qty: (1)

Provenance

Polly Latham Asian Arts, Boston, Massachusetts.

Note

Begun in 1812, the Fairmount Water Works on the Schuylkill River was world renowned for its Classical Revival beauty, state of the art engineering and well-designed public gardens and walkways. Built from a design by Frederick Graff (1774-1847), the new works solved the inadequate storage problem of the earlier Water Works designed by architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764-1820).
