About the Item
This is a beautiful set of a teapot, a sucrier with cover, and a plate made by Worcester in its Flight period, around 1790. You can tell from the generous size of the teapot that it was from after the relaxation of the import duties on tea in 1784, when tea suddenly became much more affordable. The items are decorated in a black overglaze print of several versions of the "Ruins" pattern.
I have several Worcester items available in black print, which together make a wonderful little tea set, please see separate listings.
The Ruins pattern was very popular around this time, when many young gentlemen would go on the "Grand Tour" spending a year or two travelling through Europe and acquainting themselves with the Classics in Italy and Greece. You can see various scenes with impressive ruins and status, most also with small figures in the form of travellers or young students sketching the scenes. These patterns were designed by Robert Hancock, the important artist at the Worcester factory who brought in overglaze printing in about 1760.
The items are in the shanked (a twisted ribbed) shape, popular during the Flight period, with pointed finials.
The Worcester Porcelain Company was one of the first potteries in Britain to produce porcelain. Alongside other great potteries such as Derby, Chelsea and Bow, they pioneered a new industry that would grow out to be huge in the following century. This plate is from the first period, which is often called the "Dr Wall" period after its founder. In later years Worcester went through many different ownerships and styles, and ultimately it became the Royal Worcester factory that only finished operation in the early 21st Century.
The items are unmarked, as was common during this period.
Provenance: all items from the collection of Geoffrey A. Godden, the Frank Herrmann Collection; the sucrier also from the collection of Adela Harding, with a label for the "Cambridge Exhibition 1902".
Reference: page 374 of "Worcester Porcelain 1751-1790 The Zorensky Collection" by Simon Spero and John Sandon
CONDITION REPORT All items are in excellent antique condition without any damage, repairs or crazing. There is some rubbing throughout. The sucrier has lost nearly all its gilding; the teapot has a matched cover in a different pattern. There is a small chip off the footrim of the plate, not visible when in position.
Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal, 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!

Belleek Cabaret Tea Set for Two, Cream Grass Pattern, Victorian 1863-1891
By Belleek Pottery Ltd.
Located in London, GB
This is a beautiful and very rare Belleek cabaret set in the Grass design, consisting of a teapot, two teacups and saucers, a milk jug and a lidded sugar bowl, all placed on a large tray. All items carry the 1st Black Mark, which was used between 1863 and 1891.
It is extremely rare to come across an entire cabaret set of these antique items, particularly when in such fabulous condition, so this is a rare opportunity!
If you ever thought Belleek fine china looks, sounds and feels unique, you are right. There is a back story to this extraordinarily fine Irish eggshell porcelain, which has an unusually high amount of "frit" and therefore is thinner and finer than any other china.
Pottery in Belleek (in the now Northern-Irish area of Fermanagh) had started in 1849 with John Caldwell Bloomfield, who was a wealthy land owner. During the Irish famine...
