Description
Pinxton Cup and Saucer c1800 pattern 275
Soft paste bute shaped cup decorated with a band of scolling leaves in green-brown entwined with gilt vine leaves. This is a remarkably fine piece of painting. We cannot positively attribute this to Billingsley despite him being a founder of the factory in 1796. Pinxton was faced with financial difficulties and disputes from the outset. Although William could paint. he was less reknowned for his business acumen and demonstrated his “qualities” again at Torksey. Swansea and Nantgarw.
Althhough unmarked diigence has paid off for once. No chips. cracks . restoration. ony minor wear to the gilding on saucer rim.
