Bristol Single Cup

This is a rare cup made by Bristol in about 1775. W. Cookworthy founded Plymouth around 1768 but soon after moved the factory to Bristol (around 1770) where he continued to make hard paste porcelain with the help of Richard Champion. Champion bought the factory from him around 1773. He sold the factory in 1781 after which it was closed. This cup is handpainted with a nice green floral swag all around as well as a gold trim. It has a very nice shape to it which is why I bought it in the first place. The cup is in superb condition with a little wear to the gilding on the top rim. It is marked with the greyish blue cross mark which is not found often as well as the number 7. The cup is 2.75 inches tall and 3.625 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $299
