Description
A small collection of Chinese export porcelain tea wares 2nd half 18th century, decorated in the Mandarin palette with scenes of Chinese figures in garden settings, within elaborate scrolled borders of landscape panels and floral motifs on gilt or diaper grounds. Comprising: a saucer dish, a milk jug, a rare salt, two saucers, a coffee cup and an ogee shape cup. (7)
Elements of the designs shown here were picked up and recreated on New Hall (especially the Boy in the Window pattern), and also on Swansea pieces from c.1815-17 which echoed the elaborate border as well as the palette used.
Provenance: from the Geoffrey Godden Reference Collection.
