Bow "Desirable Residence" cup c.1755-60

Antiques : Ceramics, Porcelain

 

A nice example of an early Bow coffee cup painted in underglaze blue in the "Desirable Residence" Pattern, which is sometimes known as the "Telegraph Pole" pattern because of the curious trees, this was a popular pattern for Bow.

These telegraph pole like trees can be seen clearly in the pictures to the left, & to the left of the pagoda. As is common with Bow there is in places some running of the blue into the glaze.

The cup is unmarked as is usual for early Bow.

Condition is good with only a couple of tight hairlines.

Measures 2 1/4 inches high.
