A very rare Worcester toddy cup, circa 1768 Of thistle shape, the plain handle with a kick at the lower terminal, painted with a colourful flower spray, scattered sprigs and leaves to the reverse, with a gilt line rim, 6.9cm high Footnotes: Provenance Gerald Moore Collection This form is apparently unique to Worcester and was probably copied either from silver or glass. The present lot is the only recorded example with this floral pattern. One specimen survives in the 'Rich Queens' pattern, while a few others are known which were left unfinished with only the underglaze blue portion of the Queens pattern. A few of these were later decorated with overglaze enamels. See John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.339 and col. pl.84.
