About the Item

This is a very elegant tea service made by New Hall around the year 1810. The service is made of hybrid hard-paste porcelain and has beautiful hand painted flower baskets set in a mazarine blue and gilt border. The service consists of a teapot with cover on a stand, a milk jug, a sucrier with cover, a saucer dish or plate, a slop bowl, and four teacups and saucers The New Hall factory started as a cooperative of several Staffordshire potters in 1781, 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 frugal Staffordshire improvement on the first hard paste porcelain recipes, which were quite difficult and expensive to produce. Once Josiah Spode had standardised bone china this quickly became the standard. New Hall was late to take up bone china but after 1814 they made it their main output, and they made some very high quality items. This service is made in "hybrid hard paste" porcelain. You can tell this by the way the porcelain is less milky than bone china. The service is unmarked, as was normal in that era, except the pattern number 611. Provenance: Frank Herrmann Collection. As evident from the labels, the items have been exhibited in the New Hall Bicentenary exhibition in the Stoke-on-Trent Museum in 1871, which David Holgate then published a book about. CONDITION REPORT The service is in perfect condition without any damage or repairs, and no crazing. There is only very light wear, as visible in the pictures, and a tiny imperfection on the tip of the spout, which is from production and not damage. 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! DIMENSIONS please feel free to ask
