Three rare Bristol ice cups and a stand, c.1775, after Sèvres, the cups of slender footed form, the stand of lobed form with a galleried rim, all painted with sprays of polychrome flowers including rose, daffodil and iris, blue X marks to two cups, one cup restored, the stand 21.5cm across. (4)

Provenance: Rod Jellicoe. Formerly Robert Williams, 1974.

Very few Bristol ice cups are recorded and the stand is believed to be a unique survival.
