Lovely Creamware Pottery Cup & Saucer King's Rose Pattern C.1785

18th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A very pretty small creamware teacup and saucer, nicely decorated with rich enamels of a stylised rose spray, often known as the King's Rose pattern. The handle has been grooved with a little kick at the lower terminal. c.1785.

The cup measures 8cm (3 1/8") rim to rim and 5cm (2") high. The saucer is 11.8cm (4 5/8") wide.

In very good condition: there is a very small nick/chip to the inside rim of the saucer and a small chip to the foot of the cup. There are two scratches to the saucer from manufacture, the deeper one was painted over with the rose but the enamel clearly didn't take fully. No repair or restoration. Minor handling wear, there is a slight roughness to the cup rim at one small section to the right of the handle and a very light band of discolouration just below.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Creamware is a refined cream-coloured earthenware developed in Britain during the mid-18th century, offering a lightweight and affordable alternative to imported Chinese porcelain.

It was crafted from white clays mixed with calcined flint, fired to a biscuit state, coated with a lead glaze, and decorated overglaze with enamel paints.

Authentic pieces often exhibit a characteristic greenish or yellowish pool of glaze in crevices, light overall body weight, and minor irregular hand-painted details typical of the period.

Displaying antique tea pieces inside open shelving units or on dressers creates an elegant focal point while pairing historical craftsmanship with contemporary cabinetry.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasives, or dishwashers that could damage delicate enamel decoration.
