Pretty Worcester Porcelain Fluted Tea Bowl & Saucer Turquoise Guilloche Border C.1770

18th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A gorgeous first period Worcester porcelain fluted tea bowl and saucer with a stunning delicate pale turquoise enamel border, reserving a white guilloche pattern band, carefully edged with black enamel. The gilt edges sandwiching the frieze are also framed with a fine black enamel line creating a very striking effect. Finished with a gilt band above the foot, a ring to the centre of the saucer, and the bowl has a gilt dentil border to the inside of the rim. c.1770.

The tea bowl measures 8cm (3 1/8") wide and 4.7cm (1 7/8") high and the saucer measures 13.5cm (5 1/4") wide, and 3cm (1 1/8") high.

Condition is excellent with no damage, repair or restoration and minimal handling wear. There is a very minor workman's fault where one of the inner loops of the guilloche band on the saucer was not filled with the turquoise enamel, a very rare mistake from the usually impeccable decorators!

Declaration

The Fancy Fox has dated this Worcester Porcelain Tea Bowl to the 18th Century.

FAQs

A tea bowl is a handleless ceramic vessel designed for drinking tea, widely produced in Britain during the eighteenth century prior to the standardisation of handled cups. Manufacturers such as Worcester created these using soft-paste porcelain decorated with hand-applied enamel and gilded motifs.

First Period Worcester porcelain utilised a soft-paste body incorporated with soapstone (steatite) from Cornwall, which reduced thermal shock from boiling water. The items were press-moulded or thrown, glazed, and finished with overglaze enamel paint and lead-based glazes.

Authentic pieces often exhibit a greenish translucency when held against light, precise fluting, and hand-painted details. Factory marks such as the open crescent, square mark, or workmans marks are frequently present on the underside of the foot rim.

Display the set on a stand inside a glass-fronted cabinet, arrange it along a mantlepiece or sideboard top, or incorporate it into a table vignette alongside period reference books and polished metal accents.

Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive pads or soaking. Keep the porcelain out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent stress cracks and protect overglaze gilding.
