Lot 166
A rare Worcester toy or miniature coffee pot and cover, circa 1765Of distinctive conical shape with a thin loop handle and slightly domed cover with a pointed finial, painted in blue with the 'Prunus Root' pattern (I.D.27), the trailing branches carefully positioned to extend from the rim onto the cover, 8cm high, crescent mark (2)Footnotes:Worcester's miniature teawares in 'Prunus Root' pattern were aimed at the Dutch market where 'toys' enjoyed enormous popularity. The shapes were intended to appeal to Dutch customers and many of Worcester's shapes were only made in miniature rather than full sized versions. A very similar example was sold by Bonhams on 2 November 2011, lot 83. The miniature conical coffee pot was also made with a flat cover as opposed to the domed version seen here, an example of which was in the Zorensky Collection, illustrated by Spero and Sandon, Worcester Porcelain (1996), p.446, no.602.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
