Description

MASON’S IRONSTONE CANTON RED #447 IMARI- CHINOISERIE (c.1900+) TEA CUP & SAUCER(s)- RARE!! EXCELLENT!!

THE  TEA CUPS AND SAUCERS ARE IN  EXCELLENT  CONDITION CONSIDERING THEIR MORE THAN 100 YEAR AGE  !!  THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR  CHIPS, BUT THERE IS OVERALL CRAZING  ….   COMMENSURATE WITH THEIR AGE. THE CRAZING DOESN’T DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE PATTERN,  ONLY REALLY NOTICEABLE UP CLOSE ON THE WHITE BACKGROUND AND ON THE BACK.

THE COLOURFUL IMARI PATTERN OF CHINOISERIE SCENES AND DESIGNS  INCLUDES GENEROUS GILT ACCENTS AND OUTLINES. THE SMOOTH EDGE HAS A LIGHT BURNT  ORANGE COLOUR TRIM.

THE CUP MEASURES 4 1/4 INCHES FROM RIM TO HANDLE END, 3 1/2 INCHES ACROSS THE RIM, AND STANDS 2 1/4 INCHES IN HEIGHT.  THE SAUCER IS 5 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER.  UNLIKE THE PLATES, THE EDGE OF BOTH THE CUP AND SAUCER IS SMOOTH RATHER THAN SCALLOPED.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PRICE IS FOR ONE CUP AND SAUCER.

WHAT A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR  CUP AND SAUCER COLLECTION OR TO YOUR    CANTON RED  SET.  AND AS ALWAYS, DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, FEWER OF THESE FINE PIECES WILL BE AROUND.
