EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate coffee cup and saucer dating back to the late 18th century. Crafted from exquisite porcelain, this English-made set is a true testament to the artistic mastery of the time. The cup measures 6.7x9.2 cm, making it a charming addition to any collection. The design features an enchanting Chinese pagoda and trees in a mesmerizing underglaze blue pattern on a pristine white background. Adding an extra touch of elegance, gilded decorations adorn the edges of both pieces, enhancing their regal appeal. Manufactured by Caughley (or Salopian Works) around 1780, this coffee cup and saucer exemplify the fusion of non-English cultural traditions with Georgian-era aesthetics. The navy blue color scheme adds depth and richness to these ceramic treasures. Displayed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK, this photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of these objects. It invites us to appreciate how societies have embraced different cultures throughout history. Whether used for sipping morning coffee or admired as works of art, these cups and saucers transport us back in time while simultaneously adding sophistication to our modern lives. With its intricate details and timeless charm, this porcelain set continues to captivate viewers today just as it did over two centuries ago.
