DescriptionThis is a 'Fisherman and Willow Pavilion' Pattern Beaker (A) and Saucer (B). The beaker is finely "strap fluted" and reserved with three rococo panels issuing floral sprigs and painted with either a Chinaman fishing near a willow beside a pavilion, a willow growing by a rock or flowering shrubbery growing by a rock, the saucer less finely moded but similarly painted around a central blossom medallion, and each piece with a trellis diaper border around the rim.ProvenanceHenry Clay Hofheimer, II Published ReferencesLawrence Branyan, Neal French and John Sandon, _Worcester Blue and White Porcelain 1751-1790_ (London: Barrie & Jenkins, Ltd., 1989), 114, pattern number I.B.21.
