A fine porcelain cup and saucer decorated in famille rose enamels on a relief moulded design and on a heavily gilded ground. The cup has a very delicate entwined handle. There is an underglaze blue Naples* mark to the base.Dating from the c19th or possibly earlier*, the saucer measures 5 3/4inches (14.8 cms) across and the cup 3 3/8inches (8.5 cms) across the rim. There is a miniscule frit to the rim of the cup and some scratching to the centre of the saucer. It is in otherwise very good condition with very little wear. *The Naples mark was copied by many factories including it successors Capodimonte and Doccia. I do not have the knowledge in continental porcelain to confirm whether this is Naples, its successors or any other factory. It is, however, a very good quality piece.

A porcelain tea caddy decorated in underglaze blue in the "blue onion" pattern. It is probably from the Meissen factory and bears a blue crossed sword mark to the base together with painted blue "46." and an impressed "84". It is slab built from a fine white body and the front and back are very slightly concave due to firing.Continental porcelain is not my field but I am guessing this is C19th or earlier. It stands 4 5/8inches (11.8 cms) high inc. lid. There is a large piece missing from the neck, a shell chip and the lid is damaged. I think this may be quite a rare item.
