    Hi Good People,

    I bought a box of stuff at auction last week because it had a uranium vase in it. Also in the box were these two pieces.

    The cup is chipped and heavily stained and I had it in the donation pile until I noticed the exquisite repair work. I’ve now gone full wabi-sabi and fallen in love with it. If anyone can help me identify it I’d be most grateful.

    The cup is 7.5cm tall. I’ve image searched but keep getting gaudy Welsh and that doesn’t seem right?

    Calling @John Brassey For help please

    TIA for any help

    You might also check English Imari

    The staple repairs were common up to about 1900 - pretty much stopped by WWI

    There are many people who collect staple repaired pottery.

    Thanks cluttered, I’ll have a look at English Imari.

    I'm hung up on what the pieces are actually for. The one I thought at first was a creamer looks like it had a lid and has the wrong kind of spout for a creamer or a teapot.

    Maybe it was a single serving teapot?

    I'd still expect a different spout.

    Looks more like a milk jug spout.
    If this is early 1800s were creamers as we know them part of the service?

    I think the old term for the cup was coffee can, of course in today's search world, I'm not able to pull any up.

    MY first impression was also Gaudy Welsh (aka Swansea Cottage) but several Staffordshire potteries also produced their own Gaudy Welsh patterns. There is also a closely related Gaudy Dutch. As above, also possibly an obscure Imari pattern.

    A coffee can is small, aka demi-tasse. The size of the piece above we call a mug, although without a handle this defies the norms of a mug.
