A Rockingham Porcelain Coffee Cup and saucer c.1826-1830

A rare Rockingham porcelain coffee cup and saucer c.1826-1830. Of ‘Bucket-shape’, finely painted with a panel of sea shells  to the front & a claret ground. The base of the coffee cup with a printed mark in red, ‘Yates Leeds’, who were the retailers and had their name printed on the base of the cups to discourage customers from buying replacements direct from the manufacturers. It was standard practice for Rockingham to put their own mark on saucers.

Condition: Some minor professional re-gilding to the gilded ring around the well of the saucer. Some slight scratches to the ground colour on both pieces.
