Teacup Trio Coalport John Rose, Flowers in Gilt Squares and Stars, ca 1800

About the Item

This is a beautiful true trio made by John Rose at Coalport around the year 1800. It consists of a teacup and a coffee can sharing one saucer. In the 18th and early 19th Century, this is how cups and saucers were sold; as you would never drink tea and coffee at the same time, why invest in an extra saucer? There are several items of this pattern available, please see separate listings. Coalport was one of the leading potters in 19th and 20th Century Staffordshire. They worked alongside other great potters such as Spode, Davenport and Minton, and came out with many innovative designs. When we say "Coalport" we usually think of the one Coalport factory that became famous, but in its beginning years there were two factories, one run by John Rose and the other by his brother Thomas Rose. Thomas Rose went into partnership with Robert Anstice and Robert Horton and they were located directly opposite John Rose, across the canal. The brothers' factories had much in common with each other and they shared many different shapes and patterns. Ultimately, the John Rose factory proved more profitable and John Rose bought Thomas' factory in 1814, making it the one Coalport factory that became so famous. Many of the Coalport items, of either factory, are now collectors' items. The set is made of early porcelain, from before the time that bone china became the standard; you can see that the porcelain is slightly greyish and a little uneven in places. This pattern is rare and striking: hand painted wildflowers are set in gilt squares, separated by gilt stars. The flowers have a wonderful innocence, painted confidently without much fuss. The items are unmarked, as is usual for that era. Provenance: this trio belonged to the collection of Frank Herrmann. CONDITION REPORT The set is in good condition without any damage or repairs. The coffee can is crazed, which is visible in the pictures. There is some wear throughout, also visible in the pictures. There are some tiny stress cracks where the coffee can handle meets the cup (on the right hand side); this is a small production flaw and should not be seen as 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!
