LIVERPOOL
PORCELAIN RICHARD CHAFFERS BLUE AND WHITE IMARI
TEABOWL & SAUCER WITH CANNONBALL PATTERN
LANDSCAPE C. 1760
"A
rare Liverpool English porcelain teabowl and saucer set dating from
around 1760: attractively hand decorated in blue with a painted
chinoiserie pattern of watery Cannonball
landscapes. It is further overpainted in Imari colours of red and gold
in a style that resembles some Liverpool delftwares. These rare and
highly desirable tea set pieces might easily have once been mistaken
for Worcester. This Liverpool teabowl and saucer set is by Richard
Chaffers and Company." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.

Attribution within the Liverpool factories is subject to
recent review and debate and must be accepted in good faith. For
comparison with a Richard Chaffers phosphatic-type teapot with
stylistically similar decoration and identical palette of colours see Bernard
Watney, Liverpool Porcelain, colour plate 3a. page
123.
Dimensions:
width saucer 131 mm max. height teabowl 70 mm max.
Marks:
none
Condition:
The piece is in good display condition but with some typical faults. Condition
report: a rim chip to the teabowl and separate short faint
hairline from rim. The saucer has a hairline which extends across the
top side. This is visible from the front but well hidden/lost in the
decoration. Not a significant point of weakness that will worsen, so
the saucer is very stable. No restoration to teabowl or saucer.
Decoration to both pieces remains excellent with no significant rubbing
wear.
