Object Detail
Description
teabowl and saucer, hand-painted with a “basket pattern” of pink and blue flowers with green foliage. The orange basket is draped with a blue ribbon, a device often found on Miles Mason’s versions of this pattern.
The basket is below a red Crowfoot border. The Crowfoot border is a simple border pattern of loops in red enamel that sometimes has a dot at each point. The interior of the teabowl is hand-painted in puce with a single rose in the well and puce scale panels between roses and orange foliage in cartouches, all bordered by a hand enamelled thin black outline to the rim.
The saucer is bordered in the same manner, with the well decorated with the basket pattern, in the same palette as the teabowl, surrounded by a Crowfoot border in red. The puce scale panel decoration reflects the type of decoration on Chinese tea sets being imported into England by the East India Company from 1770-1790s. The basket pattern is also known to have been made by New Hall.
