John Rose had originally been apprenticed to Thomas Turner and took over Turners Caughley works in 1798. This pattern is also known as Broseley, Broseley Willow and Pagodas by some collectors.

The tea bowl body is ribbed with 16 ribs, with a repeated pattern of two large ribs between a narrower one on each side. It is sat on a turned slightly tapering foot rim about 3/8 inch high.

The teabowl is 2 inches high by 3 5/8 inches diameter. It weighs 103g unpacked. 

It is in very good antique condition. There is a burst glaze frit bubble to one side near the rim and a short crack above the temple roof.Some very  minor nicks to the footrim. Please see the photographs.

This is a great item for any collector of English 19th century tea bowls and saucers or John Rose Coalport porcelain.
