Description

A rare Worcester saucer dish c.1760, printed in black with an unusual variation on the Tea Party design, a couple seated on an elaborate canopied bench with a servant standing in the shade behind, a small dog and a large cat in the foreground, 17cm.

While the bulk of this print bears a marked resemblance to Tea Party No. 2, the inclusion of the scrolled bench with garlanded canopy does not appear to be recorded elsewhere.
