TEA CUP

CH1981.393

Greenish glaze. Spirally fluted. Gilt leafy sprigs with red berries sparsely spaced around cup. Inside cup, band of continuous gilt sprig with red berries. Small sprig in bottom of cup. Gilt edge. No marks. According to Christies it is Worcester, though can't verify. If correct probably from the Flight period when simply decorated, fluted tea-wares were typical.
