Invalid / Infant Feeder

This is a really nicely decorated invlaid or infant feeder made in England in the ealry 19th century around 1820. Not sure of the maker but Copeland or Coalport or such would be a good match. The piece has a nice shape to it with an unusual spout tip which should help figure out the maker. It is nicely hand painted with three floral arrangements around the outside of the cup part and another to the top part. Handle to one side with a bit of gold trim, gilding to the edges and a nice gold design to the spout. An attractive piece for anyone colelcting medical examples or off course for a porcelain nut like myself. The piece is in great condition with a touch of wear to the gilding along the top edge and some light staining spots to the inside as shown. It is unmarked but that is pretty normal for English makers of this period. The piece is just under 2 inches tall with the top diameter of the cup part being 3.125 inches, the handle sticks out 0.875 inches from the side and the spout sticks out 1.75 inches.

Price is $229
