18th Century Tea Cup depicting Taurus

Code: J22136

SOLD

A fine quality, 18th century, Wedgwood jasper dip tea cup and saucer. Both the cup and saucer are marked “WEDGWOOD”, along with a large letter “A”, and they date from c.1790. The letter A is a workman’s mark. It was part of a large tea and coffee service, most of which is decorated with the signs of the Zodiac. We have split the service and are selling all items individually. Many other items can be seen on our website. 

The cup is decorated with a wide band of scrolls and flowers and there is a central cartouche depicting Taurus, the bull. The saucer is decorated with the same banding. Both the white jasperware and the relief decoration are of the finest quality, typical of the eighteenth century. The saucer is in excellent condition but there is a chip to the rim of the cup which can be seen in the image.

Dimensions Overall: Diameter 15.1cm. Height 5.8cm.
