A FINE SEVRES STYLE HAND PAINTED  LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY PARIS PORCELAIN COFFEE CAN C.1790-1805
"A little jewel of a Paris porcelain coffee can with delicate Sevres style hand painted central cartouche with floral sprays and decorative bows and swags pattern border with clusters of flower heads on trailing green leaf. A rare unmarked piece probably made by the eighteenth century Locré La Courtille French porcelain makers, circa 1790-1805. Many white blanks of La Courtille and similar china were imported into England for decoration. Pieces were decorated by a number of London establishments including the Thomas Baxter decorating studio and William Billingsley's enterprises at Mansfield and Brampton. It is impossible to say with certainty exactly where this lovely antique cabinet china coffee can was decorated. It came from a Derbyshire collector of Derby, Pinxton and similar fine porcelains. An interesting example for the discerning collector and worthy of further research." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
 
Dimensions: height 62 mm max.
Marks: none
Condition: In excellent display condition. Condition report: At some point professional and expensive restoration has been carried out to a chip to rim to front face of can and an associated hairline has been masked. This can only really be seen on very close examination next to a bright lamp and is very easily missed on first inspection. It does not detract from the display qualities of the piece. Small firing tear to footrim with related patch of browning/discolouration to underside base of can.
