Antique Porcelain Cup & Saucer Sir James Duke & Nephews Alcock c 1860

An antique scalloped rim porcelain tulip shaped cup and saucer from the mid 19th century circa 1860 in the Victorian period, Queen Victoria was the monarch on the throne at the time. This English porcelain tulip shaped cup with a distinctive reinforced handle with a thumb rest and dished saucer with a small central locating socket for the cup, similar in principle to the much earlier trembleuse. They both have each been skillfully hand painted with pairs of pink roses and buds with green leaves. Each item has been extensively gilded with a wide "sea weed" pattern which includes a border on the internal rim of the cup.

They are unmarked other than decorator's marks to the inside of the foot rim. The maker is Sir James Duke and Nephews, of Hill Pottery, Burslem, Staffordshire England, who operated from 1860 until 1863 (ref 1). The factory was formerly that of Samuel Alcock & Co and subsequently Hill Pottery Co Ltd.

The tea cup is 2 9/16 inches (65 mm) high by 3 1/8 inches (78 mm) diameter. The saucer has a diameter of 5 3/4 inches (146 mm) and  stands 13/16 inch (21 mm) high. They weigh 229 grammes unpacked. 

They are in good antique condition. There is a chip to the cup rim above the flowers just to the left that has been somewhat disguised, there are no other chips cracks nor restoration, there is some very minor wear to the gilding and some minor crazing to the glaze.  Please see the images.

This is a great item for any collector of English 19th century tea cups and saucers or Sir James Duke or Alcock porcelain.

Free UK packaging and delivery, when purchased at the listed price, International postage prices at cost.
