A large Caughley teacup from the Prince of Wales service, circa 1790, of fluted and lobed shape, richly decorated by Chamberlains, Worcester with a border of blue lozenges, all gilt, edged with gilt ribbons, swags and large floral sprays, reserved with an oval cartouche containing the crowned Prince of Wales plume and motto 'Ich Dien', unmarked, 8cm high See CW&P, page 205, plate 73, alongside 'Caughley Porcelains' - A Bi-Centenary Exhibition', pl.23, Cat. 341 for a similar example of the cup, which is recorded in Chamberlain records as the 'Prince's Feather's' pattern. This pattern is also discussed more extensively within The Caughley in Colour Exhibition Catalogue of 2005, produced by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum trust on page 15, where the author notes 'The period over which Caughley was produced was one of scandal in the Royal family. There was the 'madness' of King George III and much political attention to the overspending of the Prince of Wales. The cartoonists were lampooning the Prince of Wales mercilessly and he seemed to have few friends other than his brother, Frederick Duke of York and the Fox/Sheridan combination who saw him as a way of displacing Pitt. It is therefore unlikely that these wares were made for the public and it seem almost certain that they were for royal use'.
