Georgian teacup and saucer duo Ref.C14 Circa 1815-1825
The shape of this beautiful and rare soft paste porcelain tea cup and saucer with the "London" handle was typical of a number of early factories such as, Rathbone, New Hall, Hilditch, Masons and Sunderland just to name a few. There were approximately 17 small companies operating at this time, manufacturing predominantly jugs, mugs and cups.
Sadly, there appears to be little product-related documentation left from any of these relatively small, obscure manufacturers, such as pattern books or product lists with recognizable descriptions.
The charming cup and saucer duo seen above (typically unmarked) shows a distinct type of English filled-in or clobbered transfer on a fine translucent white porcelain pearlware which appeared for a brief period in 1820s during the reign of George IV. This polychrome transfer with strong, bright colours which were hand-painted as an over-glaze was usually done by children, as young as seven years old. Both pieces show 'lustre' rims.
The wide, deep saucer without a centre 'well' for the cup to sit in, is indicative for this time period. Also is the glazing which shows a 'orange-peel' effect, the technique of glazing not being fully understood. The hand-painted (clobbered) design shows that the paints used were not heat resistant.
The cup and saucer are both in very good condition with no cracks or chips or paint flakes. However, there is some wear to the lustre rims as can be expected. The duo shows an unusual decoration of a Mother and Child outside a large house. A baby in a small crib can be seen to the left under a tree. Most designs of this era were 'Chinoiserie", based on earlier Chinese imports. This cup and saucer are quite unique in that the artist has portrayed a typical 'home' scene.
The cup stands 6.2cm high to the top of the rim with a diameter of 9.0cm. The saucer stands 3.2cm high with a diameter of 14.0 cm.
Please note, I am NOT a qualified archaeologist/antiquarian and the description I have given is based on research of the subject.
This is a genuine antique. Please remember the classification of an 'antique' is that it should be 100 years old, OR MORE. There are many articles being offered as 'antiques' when, clearly, they are not.
