A rare Worcester coffee cup c.1756

A rare Worcester coffee cup c.1756, finely pencilled in black with two figures bowing before enclosed buildings in a mountainous Oriental landscape, the interior of the everted rim with a spearhead border, incised cross mark, 6cm high.

This design is based on an original Chinese pattern in encre de Chine. A sparrow beak jug with the same pattern was sold at Bonhams as part of the Billie Pain Collection on 26th November 2003, lot 130.
