Historical Significance:
H&R Daniel was a prestigious English porcelain manufacturer active between 1822 and 1846. The company, founded by Henry and Richard Daniel, is renowned for producing high-quality bone china and porcelain with intricate hand-painted designs, gilding, and vibrant floral patterns. Their pieces are highly collectible today due to their artistic craftsmanship and rarity, as the factory operated for only a short period.
These type of shell shaped dishes formed part of a dessert service, and were designed so that guests could easily pass a wet dessert, such as trifle, along the table to serve themselves. A dessert service would have had two, four or six of these depending on the number of place settings.
