EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Georgian Delight: A Chinese-Inspired Porcelain Coffee Cup from the 18th Century" This exquisite porcelain coffee cup, crafted around 1775-1799, showcases the intricate beauty and artistry of the Georgian era. Manufactured at the Caughley or Salopian Works, this single, horizontal vessel boasts a white background adorned with a vibrant blue transfer-printed Temple pattern. The design features a Chinese pagoda, surrounded by lush trees, all gilded with gold decoration. The cup, with its rear glazed surface, is a testament to the mastery of porcelain and ceramic craftsmanship during this period. The use of underglaze blue and gold decoration adds an air of sophistication and elegance, making it a desirable item for the well-appointed Georgian home. The cup's color palette, dominated by white, blue, and gold, is a reflection of the refined tastes of the time. The image of the Chinese-inspired Temple pattern, with its intricate details and delicate brushstrokes, speaks to the fascination with the exotic and the far-off lands of the East that characterized the Georgian era. The coffee cup, with its rich history and stunning design, is a reminder of the artistic and cultural influences that shaped the Georgian world. This beautiful piece of crockery, with its horizontal orientation and glazed surface, is a must-have for any collector of 18th-century porcelain or anyone interested in the history of coffee drinking vessels.
