Description

An uncommon Derby scalloped tea bowl and saucer in pattern number 115 c.1784-90Description. An attractive and uncommon pairing. Gilt dentil rim decoration. A border of scrolls, interspersed with blue and brown leaves. The teabowl shape is illustrated as item number 42 to the appendix to Twitchett. Condition. Minor handling wear, commensurate with age and use. Dimensions. Saucer 13cm in diameter. Bowl 8. 5cm in diameter. Cup 6. 5cm in diameter. We do not generally point out crazing, and do not regard it as a defect worth

The handle appears to be cracked or glued back

atop a square plinth

the patterns being astonishingly similar to each other-remarkable given that each was hand painted

one of whom sports a small bird perched on his arm

In addition

but Adams and Redstone do list a number of known or presumed Bow workers

a finely moulded dolphin ewer

in Staffordshire

It may not look pretty

save for a certain amount of warping

A good and unusual early Derby patch-marked small butter boat/sauceboat

small florets being applied at the intersections- both for decorative and constructional purposes
