H&R Daniel Teacup Trio, Green with Flowers Patt. 4479, 2nd Gadroon, ca 1829
About the Item
This is a rare and beautiful true trio made by H&R Daniel in about 1829. The set is potted in the "second gadroon" shape and bears pattern 4479 with a green ground, gilt vines and beautiful flower sprays.
In the 18th and early 19th Centuries, cups and saucers were sold as "true trios" consisting of a teacup, a coffee cup and a saucer; as you would never drink tea and coffee at the same time, why invest in an extra saucer?
The H & R Daniel porcelain factory was founded by Henry Daniel, son of a family of master colour makers. He headed up the decoration department in the famous Spode factory where he oversaw all the beautiful early Spode decorations. In 1822 he opened his own factory with his son Richard, creating a truly iconic body of work with the most subtle colours and beautifully painted flowers and landscapes.
The Daniel factory was the last true cottage industry among the English porcelain factories, resisting the increase of industrialisation and mass production. This resulted in extraordinary and unrivalled quality, but it probably also led to the factory having to close its doors in 1846 because it could no longer compete with others who did modernise. Daniel porcelain can be hard to identify as the factory was only around for about two decades, but this short duration and the low output also means that Daniel items have become true collectors' items.
This set is potted in the "second gadroon" shape, which was used between 1824 and 1836. Gadrooned rims became very fashionable in the late 1820s and 1830s and Daniel created several shapes with these rims. The handle is a beautiful Rococo Revival-inspired "rustic bean" shape with a nice feathered top.
This set has provenance; it came from the Beardmore Collection of H&R Daniel porcelain.
The set is unmarked except the pattern number 4479, which points to a date of about 1829, and it bears the collector's labels.
CONDITION REPORT The set is in excellent antique condition without damage, crazing or repairs and virtually no wear.
Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account.
There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera - I try to be as accurate as I can and please feel free to ask questions or request more detailed pictures!

- H&R Daniel Teacup Trio, White, Floral, Etruscan Shape, Regency circa 1825By H&R DanielLocated in London, GBThis is a rare and beautiful teacup trio made by H&R Daniel in about 1825. The set is potted in the "Etruscan" shape and is decorated in a white ground with a beautiful floral pattern and gilt anthemion sprigs. The trio consists of a teacup, a coffee cup and a saucer. In the 19th Century that's how cups and saucers were sold; as you would never drink tea and coffee at the same time, why invest in an extra saucer? We have a matching cake plate as well, please see separate listing. The H & R Daniel porcelain factory was founded by Henry Daniel, son of a family of master colour makers.

Daniel porcelain can be hard to identify as the factory was only around for about two decades, but this short duration and the low output also means that Daniel items have become true collectors' items. This set is potted in the "Etruscan" shape, a neoclassical shape with a strikingly angular handle and a graceful classical shape. The set is unmarked except the faded pattern number 3863 on the coffee cup, which points to a date of 1825. A picture of this pattern can be seen on plate 34 of Michael Berthoud and Lybne Price's "Daniel Patterns on Porcelain".

- Spode Porcelain Teacup Trio, Lavender Blue with Flower Sprays, Regency ca 1815By SpodeLocated in London, GBThis is a beautiful "true trio" consisting of a teacup, a coffee cup and a saucer, made by Spode in about 1815. It is decorated with pattern 2234 with a striking lavender or periwinkle blue border and finely painted flower sprays. In the late 18th and early 19th Century a "true trio" is how cups and saucers were sold; as you would never drink tea and coffee at the same time, why invest in an extra saucer? Josiah Spode was the great pioneer among the Georgian potters in England. Around the year 1800 he perfected the bone china recipe that has been used by everyone ever since, and he was also the leading potter behind the technique of transferware, making it possible for English potters to replace the import of Chinese china that had come to an end around that time, with their own. This was fundamental to a thriving industry that would last for about 150 years and provide half the world with their tableware. This set is made in the famous "London" shape, which was brought out by Spode in 1812 and was quickly copied by all other makers. It then remained the most popular shape for about 10 years. The set is potted in fine white porcelain - by the year 1810 Spode had perfected his recipe for bone china and it became beautifully smooth, white, thin and translucent. All three items are marked with the red hand painted SPODE mark and the pattern number 2234. CONDITION REPORT The set is in excellent antique condition without any damage, repairs or crazing. There is some minimal wear as visible in the pictures...Category
