An Art Deco Shelley tea set, white, green and black, comprising 2 sandwich plates, 12 side plates, 8 saucers, 8 cups and milk jug. CONDITION REPORT: The tea service is in generally fairly good order. Two of the cups have hairline cracks. The remaining cups all ring when tapped. One has brown staining to the inside bottom rim edge. There are some very minor blemishes to the paintwork. Both large plates ring when tapped. Five of the plates ring when tapped, six are slightly dull when tapped but only one appears to have a visible hairline crack. One plate has a break to one corner but we have the piece. Four of the saucers ring when tapped, four are slightly dull. The cream jug is in good order. The sugar basin has a hairline crack around one corner running for +/- 3 cm. This is probably just a surface mark rather than right through. There does not appear to be any significant crazing and any losses to the paintwork are minor.

An important Paris porcelain cup and saucer from Nelson's 'Baltic Service',c.1802, each decorated with a border of oak leaves and gilded acorns, both pieces with a fouled anchor within a victor's laurel wreath and gilt inscription 'Nelson 2nd April Baltic', the handle and borders of both with further gilding '15th Febry', 'San Joseph', and 'Glorious 1st August', the saucer and cup with additional oak leaf reserves with banderols inscribed 'Nelson San Joseph' and 'Nelson Aboukir',cup 10cm wide6cm widesaucer 12.5cm diameter (2)Provenance: The residual contents of Bixley Manor by instruction of the executors of Sir Timothy Colman KG.Accompanied by a receipt of purchase from Mortlock's Ltd., dated August 1895.The various Baltic and Nelson Services were presumably created in some haste ahead of the Lord Mayor's inauguration, and it is likely the London decorating workshop responsible used the only blank porcelain available to them, a mixture of Coalport and Paris porcelain. The assemblage must have been very large as Nelson started to divide the amount and give to various relatives almost immediately. One 'Baltic Set' tea service was delivered to Merton, the house Nelson shared with Emma and is listed in the 1805 inventory. Another, slightly larger, set belonged to Nelson's sister, Catherine 'Kitty' Matcham, and this featured in Sotheby's sale of 'Nelson and the Napoleonic Wars, including The Matcham Collection', 5 October 2005, lot 22. According to family tradition, another set for dessert with an oak leaf border had been given to Catherine by her brother, Horatio Nelson. It is conceivable her Baltic tea set had also been passed on to her by her brother because it was surplus to Nelson's needs. More of the set of the Baltic porcelain was given to Nelson's brother, William. Horatio Nelson's brother William married Hilare Barlow in March 1829. Hilare was the daughter of Admiral Sir Robert Barlow GBC, whose illustrious naval career included command of HMS Triumph, part of Nelson's fleet in the Mediterranean. Porcelain from both the 'Nelson' and the 'Baltic' Services was inherited by Nelson's niece, Charlotte, who was William Nelson's daughter from his first marriage. Charlotte Nelson, Duchess of Bronte, had received many of Nelson's possessions after his death. Charlotte may even have had a Baltic tea set of her own, as she had accompanied her uncle to the Lord's Mayor's Inauguration. Charlotte married Samuel Hood, Baron Bridport, and Nelson's porcelain and many other relics were inherited by his son, Alexander Nelson, Viscount Bridport. Lord Bridport's sale at Christie's in July 1895 featured many pieces of the Baltic service. Other pieces are in the Nelson-Ward Collection bequeathed to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich in 1946 by the grandson of Horatia, Nelson and Emma Hamilton's daughter.Due to the date of the surviving invoice, I think it pretty obvious that this teacup and saucer of Paris porcelain came from the Bridport sale at Christie's in July 1895. This is a clincher for me in terms of the date and is useful creating a direct route for the cup and saucer in terms of provenance, even from the day of the presentation itself, and the eyewitness description we have from Charlotte Nelson who was eventually to own it.We are grateful to Paul Crane for his help with cataloguing this rare piece from Nelson's Baltic Service.Cup - rim chip of 2.5m to the inside and a glaze crack. Painted decoration good. Some loss to gilt, particularly the inscriptions and date. Surface scratches and wear commensurate with age. Loss to glaze and residue to the inside.Saucer - rim chip of 1cm. Loss to gilt inscriptions. Surface scratches.
