Teacup 1855 - 1875

This porcelain teacup, created by the Coalport company in England between 1855 and 1875, is a fine example of the company's intricate blue and white transferware designs. Featuring a repeating pattern of stylized flowers and leaves with a gold trim, the teacup is a beautiful illustration of Victorian-era design sensibilities and the Coalport company's renowned craftsmanship. The teacup, part of a larger tea set, is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
