This detailed an extensive Worcester tea and coffee service painted with green landscapes, which included eight teacups and saucers. Notably, this service was not included in earlier inventories which suggests that it arrived there sometime between 1897, when the then Earl inherited another Devon House, Whiteway, and 1923 when Whiteway was sold and much of the contents were transferred to Saltram. It is likely that the service originally comprised twelve teacups and saucers and three of the remaining four are those now held in the collections of the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of Royal Worcester respectively. The present lot is likely to be the only cup and saucer from the service still in private hands.A similar service at Corsham Court in Wiltshire is recorded in archives as having been purchased directly from James Giles on 20 February 1771. The gilding on the Corsham Court set differs from the Saltram House examples, the latter having solid gilt handles and a wider band of gilding around the footrims.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
