Description

A rare pair of Lowestoft teabowls and saucers c.1795, the fluted bodies painted in the Curtis manner with a naive spray of flowers within unusual purple ribbon garlands suspended from green and red paterae, 12cm. (4)

The pattern is similar to New Hall pattern 195, but is based on an original design from Chinese export porcelain, variations of which are also found on wares at other English factories in the period 1795-1805.
