This H & R Daniel teacup and saucer set belongs to the Georgian period, dating to circa 1825. Fashioned from white porcelain with rich gilding, the set exhibits a grand Regency style. The interior of the cup shows a delicate gilt vine border around the rim, complementing the ornate scroll handle. Both pieces feature handpainted polychrome enamel summer flowers in shades of pink, orange, and purple, contrasted against the bright white glazed surface. Raised gadrooned mouldings edge the rims of both the cup and the saucer, accented with fine gold leaf. The exterior surface reveals no crazing or restoration, maintaining an excellent pattern and gilding condition with only very minor wear. Practical in size for standard hot beverage service, the set measures as a standard teacup and saucer. Ideal for daily use or traditional afternoon tea gatherings, this porcelain set fits nicely upon a sideboard top or within a glass display cabinet. Collectors can incorporate these items into a formal dining room setting or use them to elevate a living room tea service. The polychrome floral decoration brings subtle colour into a traditional interior scheme while offering a functional antique piece for a home today.

FAQs

Produced during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, English porcelain teacups from this era are known for soft-paste or bone china bodies, hand-painted floral motifs, moulded gadrooning, and gold leaf gilding.

English manufacturers utilised bone china and soft-paste porcelain formulations, decorated using overglaze enamel paints and burnished gold leaf gilding applied by hand.

Authentication relies on examining specific handle shapes, hand-painted pattern numbers on the underside, foot rim construction, translucency, and distinct relief moulding such as gadrooned borders.

Small ceramic items can be displayed inside glazed cabinets, styled on sideboard tops, or arranged on decorative trays to introduce historical context to contemporary spaces.

Wash pieces individually by hand using warm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, dishwashers, microwaves, and thermal shock that could damage gilding or enamel paintwork.
