Description

A Worcester porcelain fluted tea cup and saucer with scalloped rims and ear shaped handle. Painted with a variation of the "Earl of Dalhousie" pattern with bright floral sprays instead of fruit, alternating with butterflies and bugs and central landscapes framed with black and turquoise enamel. Under-glaze blue borders with gilt friezes and dentil rims. Crescent marks, c.1780-1785.

The cup measures 8.6cm (3 3/8") rim to rim and 4.7cm (1 7/8") high and the saucer measures 13.7cm (5 3/8") wide.

In excellent condition: a couple of small scuffs to the saucer foot rim but with no other damage, repair or restoration and minimal handling wear, just very slight wear to the enamel of the fruit on the raised flutes of the saucer. Three very small firing faults to the saucer rim where some kiln dust has blown out the gilding and some kiln dust spotting inside the base of the cup.

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated this Worcester Porcelain Teacup and Saucer to the 18th Century.

FAQs

First Period Worcester refers to porcelain produced at the Worcester factory in England from its establishment in 1751 until 1783, known for its high quality and distinct paste formulations.

These pieces typically utilised a soapstone-infused soft-paste porcelain body, decorated with hand-painted enamel colours and lavish gilding fired in a kiln.

Authenticity is often indicated by underglaze blue workman marks, crescent marks, or square seal marks, alongside the characteristic weight, translucency, and enamel texture of soft-paste porcelain.

Antique ceramics can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving using secure plate stands, or curated as focal points on sideboards to add historic contrast.

Antique porcelain should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent, avoiding dishwashers, harsh scrubbing, and immersion in water for extended periods.
