Two Worcester chocolate cups and stands, circa 1770

Of double ogee form, painted with panels of 'fancy' birds and smaller panels of insects, reserved on blue scale grounds within gilt-scrolled borders, stands 14.8cm diam, square marks (one stand with tiny rim chip) (4)

Footnotes

This style of bird painting is only rarely found on Worcester porcelain. Similar decoration occurs on Cookworthy and Champions' Bristol porcelains, suggesting that the same painter may have been responsible. A similar chocolate cup and stand from the Barbara Leake Collection was sold by Bonhams on 12 March 2008, lot 230.
