DESCRIPTION

An attractive 18th century English Worcester porcelain tea cup decorated in a striking cobalt blue, white and gilt palette. The body features alternating vertical cobalt bands and white reserves, with the white sections embellished by repeated gilt arrow and dot motifs. Fine gilt lines divide the panels and additional gilding highlights the rim, foot and shaped loop handle. The gently tapering form and rich geometric decoration give the cup a particularly elegant Georgian character.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Worcester porcelain of the 18th century is admired for its refined forms and varied use of underglaze blue and gilded decoration. Small surviving tea wares such as this cup reflect the fashionable tea-drinking culture and decorative tastes of Georgian England.
