Seller: alicesinstylecollectables ✉️ (9,799) 100%, Location: Wetherill Park, NSW, AU, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 296168567011 Rare Antique Georgian Period Fine Porcelain Gilt Cup & Saucer/Tea Bowl c1815-30. Soft paste porcelain was fired at lower temperatures and was prone to cracking when exposed to hot water.

This is a rare example of a Georgian period fine porcelain cup and tea bowl in wonderful condition for its age - a testiment to the quality of the hard paste porcelain and glazes used during this period. The saucer measures approximately 15cm wide and the cup is 8cm wide and 6.5cm tall. During this period saucers were made more bowl shaped and did not have the depression in the centre for the cup as more modern sets do, echoing the oriental style of teawares that were imported to Europe during the 1700 and 1800s. This set was made between 1815 and 1830 at a time when European potters had started to develop hard paste porcelains - the new material could be fired at a higher temperature and produced a more resilient finished product. Soft paste porcelain was fired at lower temperatures and was prone to cracking when exposed to hot water. By the beginning of the Victorian era, saucer design had started to become the shallower version that we know today.

I do not require immediate payment on Buy It Now listings. Ebay does not automatically calculate combined postage. I will do my best to save you some $$$!

Please request a combined invoice from me directly before paying, otherwise your items will be sent separately.  Please do not select Local Pickup to avoid paying postage costs if you wish to combine postage with another item already purchased - this will result in cancellation of your order.
