Two Love Feast Cups
1800-1850 / Ceramic / Crockery / God & Faith / Sculpture
Glazed, painted and printed ceramic
Probably Staffordshire potteries, c.1800-1830
Most love feast or 'loving' cups are plain, but some feature patterns; most were inexpensively produced. These two early love feast cups decorated in transfer print blue 'Willow' pattern and with other exotic decoration were inspired by Chinese patterns. The underglaze blue willow pattern was universally popular in the early 19th century and cheap to mass produce.
