Tea bowl, cup and saucer, New Hall Factory

An image of Tea bowl and saucer. Coffee Cup. New Hall Porcelain Factory, Staffordshire. The tea bowl is circular with deep curved sides, standing on a footring. The saucer (A) has curved sides and stands on a footring, and the coffee cup (B) has deep almost straight sides, curving inwards to the footring, and a loop handle. The tea bowl is decorated inside with a gold floral srpay at the bottom, and a border comprising blue paterae linked by undulating blue ribbons edged with gold, an undulating continuous spray of gold leaves, and gold spots in the spaces, with a gold horizontal band below, and a gold band on the rim. On the outside there is a horizontal gold band intertwined by a leafy stem a short distance below the rim, and a gold band round the footring. The saucer is decorated to match, but has a gold circle round the central spray. The coffee cup is decorated to match the tea bowl but does not have a central spray inside. It also has a vertical gold line down the back of the handle. Identified as pattern no. u584 or no. 170. circa 1790-1795.
