<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lavrentii, post: 11976435, member: 80422&quot;]Hello everyone!</p><p>I had a few chats with people. And one lady gave me direction to Swansea porcelain.</p><p>Quote:</p><p>A very common pattern though the detail on the violas,&nbsp; pansies whatever you wish to call them is superior to most versions. Most of these porringer shape cups (c 1813-15) illustrated in The Compendium of British Cups are Spode and that gilding on the handle is typically Spode except the central row of dots missing. A Swansea version is shown, very similar but perhaps a more distinct flare on the rim,&nbsp; also a Coalport version, other factories have different shaped handles on the basic porringer cup. The shapes are so similar that&nbsp; without being able to angle your cup to exactly mimic the views in the book. I&#039;m not risking an opinion though a duck egg translucency would confirm Swansea.</p><p>Also Derby used this type of pattern and of course there is no guarantee that with only my copy of the Compendium to work from that a Derby version of this shape was not made...just no example found by the author.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I had a look to some old shapes and patterns. Want to share one very very close to mine.</p><p>Sold by Bonhams. The shape of the handle is identical. So for now I think it is Swansea. But need to find some references.</p><p>Thanks all.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]550801[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
