A rare New Hall coffee cup, c.1783-87, painted by Fidelle Duvivier with birds in flight and perched on trees above a watery landscape, beneath a continuous gilt formal foliate border reserved on a dark blue band, some gilt wear, 6.5cm.

This particular service by Duvivier is characterised by tall rockwork and rather oversized birds. A saucer dish is illustrated in David Holgate's article for the Transactions of the English Ceramic Circle, Volume 11, Part 1, Fidelle Duvivier Paints New Hall.
