About the Item

This is a beautiful cup and saucer trio made by New Hall between 1815 and 1820. It is potted very finely in the "London" shape, which was the fashion at the time. The New Hall factory started as a cooperative of several Staffordshire potters making use of the porcelain license of Bristol Porcelain Company after this went in demise. It quickly grew out to be a leading porcelain maker, and the first to make true porcelain in Staffordshire. New Hall is mostly known for its huge output of its typical "hybrid hard paste" porcelain, as New Hall had adapted the original hard paste recipe from Bristol in order to save on production costs - a typical frugal Staffordshire improvement on the first hard paste porcelain recipes, which were quite difficult and expensive to produce. Once Josiah Spode improved on this further and standardized bone china, New Hall was late to take up bone china and many other factories started stealing the limelight. This set is from the period when New Hall had just switched to bone china. It is beautifully made and could easily be confused with any high quality Spode, Coalport or Ridgway set. The set is decorated with a beautiful pattern of gilt and pink sprigs, very finely hand painted on the thin and very white porcelain. The items are unmarked, as was often the case in this era. Condition report The trio is in excellent antique condition without damage, crazing or repairs and only the very slightest rubbing to the gilt. 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. Dimensions (diameters): cup 7.4cm (2 7/8"), saucer 14cm (5.5").
