PATTERN PUCE MARK COFFEE
CUP C.1782-1795
"An
elegant William Duesbury Derby period grooved loop handle coffee cup: an intricate neo-classical Husks
and Swags
pattern with delightful polychrome flower sprigs. This pattern
originates from the Chelsea-Derby period and on this example is
decorated at least
in part by the Derby painter-gilder William Taylor whose number 11
painter's mark is found in puce to the footrim. A little gem of an
eighteenth century English porcelain coffee cup and recommended
to the discerning collector of fine antique china."Antiques Expert

This neo-classical pattern is found illustrated on Chelsea-Derby

Illustrated Guide, John Twitchettpage

Dimensions:
height 66 mm max.
Marks: Derby mark as illustrated plus rarely found Derby
painter's '11' for William Taylor.
Condition:
Excellent condition with no significant damage and no
restoration. There are minute specs of rubbing wear to decoration in
places - visible with a magnifier but not noticeable in normal view. To
the base there is a flat firing chip to footrim caused by removal of
kiln furniture; a raised pottery bubble to flat of base underneath -
also from firing and a brown spot of glazing impurity to footrim.
Overall a nice example of a rare eighteenth century porcelain cup.
