Chocolate cups were to feed well-to-do ladies while they were being helped by their servants with their toilette. In the age of complicated dresses, lots of make up and very complex coiffure, this could take several hours and the hungry lady would survive on chocolate milk and snacks.

This chocolate cup with cover is potted in early porcelain; it has a slightly cream/grey hue as it contains no or very little bone ash. The shape is a Classic wasted Worcester chocolate cup shape with two wonderful handles; this closely resembles Chinese items from the 18th Century. The cover has a flower for a finial. The design is an imitation of the Japanese Kakiemon...
