Antique 19th C Purple Bat Print Soft Paste Cup & Saucer w/ Silver Lustre

Porcelain : Antique : Bat Print : English Soft Paste

 

This attractive English cup and saucer dates to the first quarter of the 19th C, and is in excellent condition!

Unfortunately, I had a very difficult time making good photos of the set. The color is a DARK purple, with very little red in it. The silver lustre bands of decoration show virtually no wear...but photographed blue in places. And the clouds above the building (on the cup) disappeared in the first photo, but show up in the second photo.

The cup is 2-1/4" high, with a 3-1/4" diameter. The deep saucer has a 5-5/8" diameter, and about 1-1/4" high.

Both pieces are in excellent condition, with no chips, no cracks, no crazing, and no repairs. The silver lustre trim is intact on both cup and saucer, Both ring when tapped. There are a few utensil marks on the printed part of the saucer. Pretty great for almost 200 years old!
