– a teapot and stand, a lidded sugar box, milk jug,
slop bowl, two cake plates and twelve tea bowls and twelve saucers.
Patt. no. 351, otherwise unmarked
C1810.
The gilding on the handles shows some wear. Four of the
pieces have sustained some damage, the most obvious is to the tip of the teapot spout which has been fitted with a metal collar so that it can
still pour. There are also two small chips to the inside rim of the pot.
The sugar box as a chip to the base and another to the underside of the
lid. One of the plates has a star crack to the base, and one of the
teabowls has a crack. The milk jug has a shallow firing crack to the
inside, but this was filled with glaze in the factory.
Pattern, 351, on Chamberlain’s New Oval shape, Apart from the pattern number, the set is unmarked. However, the pattern is shown inplate 239 of Berthoud’s “Compendium of British Cups”. The teapot corresponds with plate 1001 of Berthoud’s “Directory of British Teapots”and the creamer with plate 456 of “Cabinet of British Creamers”.
