Apple Green Trim Floral Cup & Saucer

This is a rare and really nice tea cup and saucer made by Worcester during their first period of around 1765. Both pieces are hand painted with the famous Marchioness of Huntley pattern that utilizes that rare apple green ground trim with a nice quatrefoil white ground area on the inside with some nice gilding in between the green and white areas. Two large flower garlands jut out from the rim through the main area and there are a couple of small single flowers and single leaves coming out from the gold trim as well. I could only find one other cup with this pattern which I also own though there are some out there with a fruit design. What makes them even more special is that each is marked with their rare under glaze blue crossed swords mark with the number 6. in between the top. Not a mark one sees very often! The set is in great condition with two minor chips to the inside foot ring of the saucer and some roughness to the foot ring of the cup from when it was made. The apple green ground has areas where it is grey / dull in color as shown likely a firing issue. It was a popular color but not easy to fire. They both display very nicely! The cup is 2 inches tall and has a diameter of 3.125 inches. The saucer is 1 inch tall and has a diameter of 5.125 inches. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
