About the Item
Chinese export porcelain bacchus mug after Derby Porcelain,
circa 1785.
The Chinese Export porcelain mug is modeled after a Derby Porcelain original as the head of Bacchus, the face naturalistically & delicately enameled. The eyebrows, beard and hair picked out with lightly etched brown lines. Around his head is a garland of vine leaves enameled in green, the veins of the leaves well delineated in grey, the bunches of grapes in a rich purple. The "C" shaped handle is decorated with stylized vine leaves, the sides of the thick handle with gold lappets.
Dimensions: 4 inches high
Reference
This type of mug was copied directly from a Derby original that dates to around 1780-1785 and was created by William Duesbury II (1763-97) when the company was known as William Duesbury & Co.
For a similar mug, see Sargent: The Copeland Collection: Chinese & Japanese Ceramic Figures, Peabody Essex Museum, 1991, p 230.
See also Howard; The Choice of the Private Trader, page 195, plate 226, and we quote "Modeled accurately after a Derby original in the form of a bearded face …. The Derby originals usually bear a puce mark of c. 1785, and this popular pattern which, with its sailor-like cap, has been called "Sailor's Head", "Rodney" or "Neptune", was made at Chelsea, Derby and other factories - examples of these now being more numerous than the Chinese copies." For a Ralph Wood version of this type, see R.K. Price Ralph Wood Figures, plate XXXVIII no 68.
Also see Espirito Santo Collection, Lloyd Hyde/ Silva/ Malta 1956, plate XXXV, p. 94.
For another similar example see Important Chinese Export Porcelain, The Chinese Porcelain Company, 1995, p. 74, pl. 56, and Hodroff Collection, Howard 1994, number 226, p. 195 (Chinese version), Mottahedeh Collection, Howard and Ayers, 1978, Vol II, p. 570, no 591, Essayan Collection, Beurdeley, 1962, p. 44, fig 21 (Chinese version).
