This class of early Worcester coffee cups is usually found with poorly-controlled blue and white decoration and these probably pre-date the introduction of a 'hardening-on' firing to help to prevent blurring. The decoration of the present lot should be compared with a mug in the Watney Collection, Part 2, lot 571. A related cup with a different treatment of the Promontory Pavilion pattern was shown by Simon Spero in his 2009 exhibition, cat. no.37.
