Antique early Victorian Child's cup Minton circa.1840 Ref.Nov78B

This is spectacular transferware child's tea cup, dating to c1840. The set is transfer printed in black with pearlware glaze on scalloped rims. The pattern is quite scarce. It is commonly referred to as CHINESE CHILDREN'S GAMES (sometimes called Pastimes or Juvenile Games), depicting Chinese children playing games with balls, marbles, bubbles, kites, spinning top, & hoops and sticks. The Chinoiserie influenced motif has an inner and outer border string of flowers and stippling.

The cup is unmarked. It was made by Minton, an early 19th century pottery manufactory in Stoke in the Staffordshire region of England. The pattern is illustrated and discussed in Lorraine Punchard's book "Playtime Pottery & Porcelain from the United Kingdom & the United States" (page 46).

This small 'Child's' cup would undoubtedly have come from a set, and, not so much used as a 'toy' but to teach the little girl to dispense tea correctly. Taking 'tea' in the Georgian and Victorian times was a strict affair and all young girls were expected to be totally conversant with this ritual. Cups made out of pottery or porcelain were still expensive in this era and this cup would have come from a wealthy household.

This delightful cup is still in perfect condition with no chips, cracks, scratches or loss of design. It is a early 'transfer-print' in a black color, showing children playing marbles and rolling hoops, with one child with a hoop in the centre of the cup. The cup stands 4.2cm high and has a diameter of 6.8cm.

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.
