LOWESTOFT
PORCELAIN RARE BLUE AND WHITE SCROLL HANDLE COFFEE
CUP & SAUCER, CHINESE GARDEN SCENE
PATTERN C. 1770-1780
"A rare English porcelain
Lowestoft scroll handle coffee cup and saucer - guaranteed genuine
dating from around 1770-1780: boldly hand painted in underglaze
blue and decorated with a rarely found and illustrated Chinese
Garden Scene pattern. This is the only example we have seen
outside of a museum! Note the distinctive stylised 'flowering
bamboo' tree and fine fenced garden motifs. A rare and highly
desirable item. It deserves a home in a very special collection."

Porcelains are among the scarcest and most highly prized of the
English factories. Interest among fine English porcelain and
pottery collectors is always keen... A bowl decorated in this rare
pattern is illustrated in, Sheenah Smith, Lowestoft

Dimensions: height cup
63 mm max. width saucer 122 mm max.

A small flake chip to inside/top rim of coffee cup: at some point
