Marks:
The tea bowl is marked with the Caughley 'Salopian'
underglaze blue 'S' mark with a blue 'X' near to it. The coffee can and saucer
are marked with the Caughley underglaze blue Salopian 'S' mark. These marks were
used at the Caughley factory between 1775-90.
This beautiful Caughley tea bowl, coffee can and saucer is in
excellent condition with no, cracks, repairs or restoration. The only extremely minor imperfection
are some
small areas where the gilding on the inner decoration of the tea bowl has had a little
wear, but this is certainly minor. Also on the rim of the saucer is a
graze with the gilding removed (as shown in the two pictures below). There may
appear to be a tiny chip to the rim of the raised foot of the saucer, this is a
manufacturing fault, as the tiny chip is glazed and is insignificant.
A delightful Caughley trio dating from c1785. A fine addition for the collector of fine quality Caughley porcelain from the
eighteenth century.
