Blue Scale Ground Kakiemon Cup & Saucer

This is an early cup and saucer made by Worcester around 1760. Both pieces are handpainted with three superb kakiemon floral scenes as well as lots and lots of single flowers. There is even one on the bottom inside of the cup. The quality of the painting is top notch and the cartouches are surrounded with some nice gilding and the spaces in between are filled with their famous blue scale design ground. An amazing set that is as good as it gets for them. The cup and saucer are both in perfect condition with the teeniest of flakes to a spot on the edge of the saucer as shown. The cup is 1.875 inches tall and has a diameter of 3 inches. The saucer is 1.125 inches tall and has a diameter of 5.25 inches. Each piece is marked with their square fret mark underneath in underglaze blue as shown. Thinly potted with a green translucency. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
