Antique 19th C Brown-Westhead, Moore Porcelain Cup & Saucer, Pink/Gold,

Porcelain : Antique : Brown Westhead & Moore : English

 

This is a beautifully decorated footed cup with a graceful ring handle.The rich dark pink background of this cup and saucer shows off the abundant gilding beautifully...but all that gold makes this set hard to photograph without glare...

This cup shape may be found on page 214, photo 1279 of Berthoud's "Compendium of Cups". His Brown-Westhead, Moore & Co. set dates 1868 and is pattern # C 461. The company operated at Cauldon Place, Hanley, Staffordshire from 1862 to 1904.

The cup shown here is identical in shape, and the pattern number shown on both cup and saucer is C 494.

The cup is 2-5/8" high, the saucer's diameter is 5-3/8".

The condition is excellent. No crazing or discoloration. The only flaw I see is slight wear to the gilding on the interior circle of the saucer (please see my close-up photo of that area). I black-lighted this set, and found no chips, no cracks, and no repairs.
