VERY RARE NOTCHED RIMS WORCESTER PORCELAIN BLUE AND WHITE TEABOWL & SAUCER, THE PLANTATION PATTERN, BFS II.B.5 C.1757-60
"A very special and attractive Dr. Wall period Worcester porcelain teabowl and saucer, finely transfer printed in the Plantation pattern. The Plantation pattern print is one of the earliest First Period Worcester underglaze blue and white patterns and first dates from circa 1757-60. Teabowl and saucer sets seem almost impossible to find in this pattern. This particular teabowl and saucer shape is itself a real rarity. The delightful, finely potted, scalloped edged or notched rims are only very rarely found on early Worcester teawares and date circa 1756-58. Both porcelain shape and the quality of the printing indicates that this wonderful set is one of the few earliest surviving examples. The best of antique English porcelain in blue and white." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
