FIRST PERIOD WORCESTER FINE COFFEE CUP WITH GROOVED HANDLE, THE MAN IN THE PAVILION PATTERN BFS II.B.1 C.1758
"A fine early Worcester coffee cup transfer printed in underglaze blue with the Man in the Pavilion pattern. The blue and white design dates from 1757-60 and is considered to be the first of the underglaze blue Worcester printed patterns. This slender Worcester coffee cup shape, with grooved handle and slightly everted narrow tapering rim, is a delight. A particularly rare find for your very special collection." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
