ENGLISH PORCELAIN COFFEE CUP, G.F. BOWERS PATTERN NUMBER 632
, JAPAN STYLE, CHINOISERIE DESIGN C.1848
"An
attractive early Victorian English porcelain coffee cup of fine
quality. Similar to pieces by the later Worcester and Coalport
factories. A gem of a cup - Staffordshire made, by G.F. Bowers who
produced fine china for a few short years c.1842-68. Pattern 632
is a striking printed and hand coloured Japan style
chinoiserie inspiration. This unique 19th century cup shape design was
registered by Bowers at the UK patent office in June 1848. A great and
rare example for the discerning collector and display."Antiques Expert
