Shore & Coggins (John Shore & William Coggins) were located in Longton
Queen Anne was one of the trade names they used
This is an example of 'fancy' Queen Anne from the 1950's, conservatively dressed to impress!
DLAT Rating: 10/10 (Darling, Look At This!)
This is part of our "fancy" trio's collection and we have decided that some of which needs to find new, caring homes to live in! This Queen Anne trio is being made available as separate items (or all together if someone doesn't previously purchase part of the trio)

QUEEN ANNE - Tea Cup (1) ONLY
Circa 1950's, based on the backstamp design.
Registered pattern: 4719
Pattern name: Unknown.
Translucent fine china, meaning that when it is held to the light you can easily see the shadow of your hand through the chinaware
Hand decorated by both the artist and gilder, although their marks have only been placed on the underside of the saucer which is advertised separately.
The design is very 'regal' in appearance, using a base light Yellow (similar to a Custard colour!) with extensive Gold decoration around the rim, flowing down inside the cup, heavily over the complete back of the "Countess high back style" handle, around the outside centre of the cup and finally there is a heavy application at the base which creates a "Golden foot" As with the associated saucer and side plate, in the central inside area of the cup is a spray of Red & Blue flowers with foliage.
Absolutely this is a 'show piece' for a special fancy tea occasion, unlike some of the other fancy trio's that we have, this one is more "mature and sedate" It has never failed to impress our visitors in the past when bought out for that "special" afternoon get together.

COSMETIC CONDITION:
This is the REALLY IMPORTANT part! It is no good being a Show Piece if it hasn't had love and caring over the years.
CLEAN
NO cracks at all
NO chips at all
NO discolouration or wear to the artwork decoration
NO discolouration to the base Yellow colouring
NO wear or scratching to the very intricate Gold gilding and design. Quite special because there is so much Gold coverage. If I was to make only the most critical of observations ... the Gold gilding (particularly on the handle) has that 'antique' dull Gold look although it still shines but on the lower part of the handle I can see that the light is reflected off the Gold slightly differently - it is NOT worn off or anything severe like that but the "sheen" of the Gold in that area just slightly differs to the rest of the Gold decoration.
NO crazing observed, dry and wet checked
