DescriptionThis is a Worcester "Warmstry Fluted" coffee cup (A) and saucer (B). Each piece is painted by the "Spotted Fruit Painter" in green monochrome in the cetner with a spray of a peach, leaves, and blossoms within a gilt dentil roundel on the saucer and repeated around the lower body of the cup below three small leaf sprigs. The interior of the barbed rim of each piece has a gilt denil edge. There are pseudo-Chinese seal marks in underglaze blue. The rim of the coffee cup has one small chip and the rim of the saucer has three small chips.ProvenanceHenry Clay Hofheimer, II
