A very rare Worcester saucer dish, circa 1760

Printed in black with a version of 'The Tea Party' pattern, a lady and gentleman seated on an elaborate bench, its scrolled shell back supporting a curving canopy garlanded with flowers, a manservant by their side holding a tea kettle, a small dog at their feet beside a leopard and musical trophies, black line rim,
17cm diam (a few fine scratches only)

Footnotes

The composition of this print has strong similarities to The Tea Party No.2, but with the addition of a canopied rococo bench. This version appears to be unrecorded and is an extraordinary interpretation of the English Rococo
