Description

A pretty late Regency porcelain teacup and saucer in the London or Grecian shape. Painted with a stylised oriental scene of a garden with rocks, a small fence and flowering plants, lotus and bamboo. Painted in a kakiemon type palette with underglaze blue, pale blue, soft iron red, green and turquoise enamel and bold gilt accents. Finished with a gilt and underglaze blue patterned border  and gilt handle. A paired down version of the scene runs as a frieze to the outside of the cup. This pattern is also seen on Charles Bourne pieces under pattern number 233. Unmarked, most probably Ridgway, c.1820.

The cup measures 9cm (3 9/16") wide and 5.6cm (2 3/16") high and the saucer measures 13.6cm (5 3/8") wide.

In excellent condition with no damage or repair. The surface of both pieces is very finely crazed from manufacture. Minimal handling wear. 

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated this Regency Imari Tea Cup and Saucer to the Georgian era.

FAQs

Regency ceramics, spanning the early 19th century, often incorporated classical motifs, vibrant enamel colours, and heavy gilding, heavily influenced by imported Japanese Imari and Chinese export porcelain.

These pieces were crafted from fine hard-paste or bone china porcelain, hand-painted with underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron red, green, and gold enamels, then fired multiple times in a kiln.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate foot rims, hand-applied enamel work with slight variations, faint pattern numbers or makers marks in paint or impressed into the clay, and characteristic wear consistent with age.

Antique cups and saucers can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, used as accent pieces on a mantelpiece, or styled on dedicated plate stands to add historic charm and colour to traditional or eclectic spaces.

Antique porcelain should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing or dishwashers to protect fragile overglaze enamels and delicate gilding.
