Antique Georgian porcelain lot consisting of two tea bowls and a plate / saucer. Made in Worcester, England, during the so-called Dr Wall period 1755 - 1783. Measurements: Saucer is 4 1/2 inches diameter and 3/4 inches high.
Larger bowl is 3 inches diameter and 1 3/4 inches high. Smaller bowl is 2 3/4 inches diameter and 1 1/2 inches high. All pieces are blue and white. They each have a double border of two concentric rings on the upper rim. The saucer, much like a shallow bowl (the custom was to drink the tea from the saucer, which therefore had curved sides, like a bowl) is very richly decorated in a Chinese influenced pattern with pavilions, fences, flowers, pagods, insects, rocks and flying birds. The mark underneath the saucer is the crescent moon with cross-hatching. There are other impressed marks, which are either meaningless or we do not know their significance. There is a tiny kiln crack on the rim of the saucer - see'photos. The larger of the two cups has deep blue floral decoration with butterflies flitting amongst the flowers.The flowers include roses, morning glory and other typical flowers from an English garden. A small flower nestles at the inside bottom of the bowl.
The mark underneath is a solid crescent moon. There are one or two minute fleabites on the bottom rim of this bowl - quite negligible considering the age of the piece.
The smaller of the two bowls has a flow blue decoration that includes flowers, grassy knolls and landscape and even two flow blue birds near a Chinese pagoda and landscape. It also has a small flower in the inside of the bowl.
There is a wide range of shades of blue on this particular piece. The mark underneath is an open crescent. One or two negligible fleabites on the bottom rim.
