A fine green-ground coffee cup and saucer, manufactured in what was, at the time, the highly fashionable French-Empire style, with horsetail and hoof handle to the cup. Early red griffin mark, the griffin being derived from the armorial bearings of the Fitzwilliam family, who funded the Rockingham business for much of its existence.
Pattern number 643. The piece is heavily gilded and features elaborate gilded reserves with finely painted floral sprays.
The red griffin period was short lived, but produced the finest wares. See Cox, Rockingham 1745-1842, page 188, figure 162 for a similar coffee cup and saucer from this service.
Condition.
In excellent antique condition. No apparent defects, except for minor discolouration to the inner base of the cup.
Dimensions.
Saucer – 15.5cm in diameter.
Cup-8 cm in height.
We do not offer combined postage as the figure we charge reflect the time taken to pack and source packaging material which is incredibly time-consuming. Ultimately, it is the combined price which reflects the true cost.
See our other items. If you like what you see, we do have other items that are not necessarily listed and which may be of interest.
We use recycled packaging. It helps our environmental footprint, but does not necessarily look very pretty!
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
