Antique porcelain Floral teacup and saucer Circa 1820-1840 Ref. C- 44
The charming cup and saucer duo shown above (typically unmarked) is 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. The cup shows the typical London Shape, both pieces with a polychrome transfer Floral decoration. These rich designs stand out against many other potteries, due to their brightly enamelled colouring which were hand-painted as an over-glaze. A number of companies could have produced this duo, namely Hilditch, Ridgway, Rathbone, Copeland and Garrett, Samuel Alcock. The shape of the cup and saucer, the handle, the depth of the saucer and lack of a centre 'well'for the cup to rest in, all point to the early 1820-1840 era. A fairly heavy glaze, showing an 'orange-peel' effect and small black spots (due to contamination of coal dust from the kilns) also help to substantiate the date.
The cup and saucer are in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. The paint is unblemished and still very vibrant and undamaged. No makers name but three small dots set as a triangle which appears to be Hilditch. The cup stands 5.6cm high with a diameter of 9.3cm at the rim. The saucer stands 3cm high with a diameter of 14.2cm.

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.
