Description: Georgian, porcelain, tea bowl and saucer c.1800 Tea was first offered in London coffee houses around 1660 and was popularised in literary circles by Queen Catherine, wife of Charles IIIt was imported in limited quantities by merchant ships and was so expensive that only the comparatively rich could afford to drink itAlthough not considered good manners today, during the late 1700s and early 1800s, tea was often drunk from saucers (deeper than today’s, the saucers were similar in shape to the Chinese bowls of the 17th century). It's thought that the practice came from Russia, where samovars kept tea very hot and strong. Pouring from cup into saucer was a quick way to cool the tea Hand painted with roses, cornflowers, and curly swags No maker's mark but very similar to New Hall pattern 241 The saucer has a hairline crack and some surface scratches. There are quite a lot of surface scratches to the inside of the bowl (presumably caused by crushing sugar), and a small area of crazing underneath the base. A sprinkling of kiln dust.
