It was listed by The Fancy Fox. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
The Fancy Fox has dated this piece to the Regency era.
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 gilded 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 8.8cm (3 1/2") 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 saucer has a very fine glaze line to the rim that is too fine to show in photographs. The surface of both pieces is very finely crazed from manufacture. Minimal handling wear.
The Fancy Fox has dated this piece to the Regency era.
Offering fine porcelain and pottery, 18th century and later, silver, glass and other small attractive pieces
