The base is painted with a pseudo Chelsea Gold anchor mark. A very fine Paris Porcelain Gold Ground Cup and Saucer circa 1820. The piece is in a Neoclassical style decorated with a large reserve painted with an exquisite floral still life. The remaining fields are painted in gilt over cobalt blue and utilize an anthemion and leafy vine bands. The handle is gilt and scrolled in form with a lion's head terminus.
Condition is very good with some minor gilt loss in the flat of the saucer.
There is also some very minor craze in the glaze in the flat of the well of the cup. A finely painted porcelain placque depicting the Madonna and Child dating from the Late Nineteenth Century. The figures are rendered with a strong sensitivity and beauty. The work is not signed. It bears two original paper lables.
