EARLY
WORCESTER BLUE & WHITE WORKMAN'S MARK
FLUTED COFFEE CUP, THE PRUNUS ROOT PATTERN
BFS I.D.27 C.1756
"A rare early Worcester blue and white English Porcelain fluted coffee cup of small
proportions dating from c.1756. The attractive Prunus Root
pattern was continued until the 1780's on 18th century
Worcester porcelain. Earlier versions are considered to be the
best, hand painted with more care. Although we have seen several
examples of this early potting shape on teabowls - including the
Bernard Watney collection - we have yet to come across another
coffee cup. A piece for the connoisseur collector."
