Chinese style cup and saucer, New Hall Factory

An image of Cup and saucer. New Hall Porcelain Factory, Staffordshire. Bute shape cup with oval ring handle. Circular saucer with curved sides, standing on a footring. The interior of the cup is decorated at the bottom with a row of red grasses, and round the rim with two narrow red lines under which are four inverted hearts with a circle below. The exterior is decorated with a continuous Chinese scene: two fuzzy black bushes behind a red fence; a woman wearing green and puce clothing, stands holding a sceptre; a spiky black bush and a flowering tree; a boy dressed in green and dark puce who is trying to catch a butterfly; two black bushes flanking a flowering tree; a standing man dressed in blue, and another black bush. The ground is indicated by horizontal red strokes. On the back of the handle in puce are five dots, a stylized leaf, a vertical stroke, and at the lower end two leaves. The saucer is decorated inside with a Chinese scene with spiky black rocks, a flowering shrub and flowering tree; a boy holding up arms to a butterfly, and a man and woman standing side by side, dressed similarly to those on the cup. The border is similar to that on the cup with six heart motifs. Pattern 421.
