English Bone China Rectangular Dish with Hand-Painted Fruit signed H. Stinton - A rectangular bone china dish featuring rounded corners and a slightly raised rim. The well is decorated with a detailed, hand-painted still life of fruit, including a central pear, strawberries, and acorns. This motif is set against a mottled background of peach, pink, and green washes. The rim is finished with a fine gilt edge. The decoration is signed H. Stinton in cursive script at the base of the painting. The underside features a circular adhesive label which reads BONE CHINA MADE IN ENGLAND, and a printed mark D.G.R.L C19. While the style and signature are associated with Harry Stinton (1883–1968) of Royal Worcester, the base marks indicate decoration by an independent studio such as Decorative Gifts Reading Ltd.
