New Hall Porcelain Tea Bowl Saucer En Grisalle Floral Basket patt 308 c 1790

A New Hall hard paste porcelain tea bowl and saucer decorated in black monochrome enamel, some collectors refer to this decoration as "en grisaille". The hand painted pattern consists of a central high handled floral basket with scattered flowers around it. The border is made up of a hand painted dotted line and narrow bands to the rim above a wavy dotted floral swag border. Although this example is unmarked it is the New Hall pattern number 308.

The tea bowl is 2 inches (51 mm) high by 3 1/2 inches (84 mm) diameter. The saucer has a diameter of 5 1/4 inches (133 mm) and a deep curved side stands 1 1/4 inches (32 mm) high. They weigh 176 g unpacked. 

They are in  excellent antique condition. There is some extremely minor wear to the enamel, some of the usual minor fritting and the tea bowl has a very small chip to the foot rim, possibly from manufacture. Please see the images.

This is a great item for any collector of antique English 18th century tea bowls and saucers, black monochrome ware, en grisaille paintings, floral patterns or New Hall porcelain.
