A rare Chelsea-Derby teabowl and saucer c.1775

A rare Chelsea-Derby teabowl and saucer c.1775, decorated with a version of the Hop Trellis pattern, berried leaves alternating with entwined trelliswork within bright turquoise bands, separate gilt anchor and D marks, 12.2cm.

Provenance: from the collection of the 2nd Viscount Bearsted, and thence by descent.

The unusual feature of a separate anchor and D mark, rather than being entwined, appears to be unique to this pattern.
