Coffee Cup and Saucer 1804 - 1813

This “Coffee Cup and Saucer” was made by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company between 1804 and 1813. The saucer features a bold and intricate design with a central motif of a lion surrounded by a garland, representing the company's trademark. The cup features similar motifs in a more abstract and stylized manner. Both pieces showcase a combination of floral patterns, geometric shapes, and the company's signature gold detailing, demonstrating the popular Chinoiserie style of the time. This set is a striking example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company, now a part of The Art Institute of Chicago's permanent collection.
