Liverpool Richard Chaffers Cup & Saucer

This is a really nice and teabowl shaped cup and saucer made by Richard Chaffers in the Liverpool area about 1760. Quite difficult to find polychrome pieces by him especially ones this nice. The set is hand painted with a superb polychrome enamel flower scene with a tiny bug as well and a nice trim to the inside edge. The design is similar to the more well known Chrysanthemum pattern. There is a larger flower with a flower bud and its leaves and a prunus blossom type twig as well. Another flower to the bottom inside of the cup. The colors are very nice nice with raised detail and the porcelain fairly thin with a bluish grey glaze and a green transluceny. The set is in superb condition with some of the usual manufacturing flaws but no real damage. The worst is a firing crack to the udnerside and the tiniest of rough spots on the edge. Neither piece is marked which is the norm! The tea bowl is 1.75 inches tall and just under 3.25 inches in diameter. The saucer is 0.875 inches tall and 4.875 inches in diameter.
