A collection of Caughley tea and coffee wares transfer-printed in the Fruit and Wreath pattern, circa 1778-82, with additional gilding, comprising teapot and cover, 12cm high, teapot stand, tea caddy and cover (restored), tea bowl, coffee cup and saucer, milk jug, sucrier and cover, spoon tray, slop bowl and a bread and butter plate, C mark (14) Provenance: Wright Collection no.610. The majority of these pieces were purchased from a Phillips Sale on 15/9/99 as lot 198, 'From the collection of Lord Lilford', sale 30807 (illustrated in the sale catalogue). This is a very interesting service as it is an example of the earlier, twenty-four reeded shape. A comparison of the teapot in this lot can be made between collection no. 386. The teapot in this is an early barrel shape which is not as uniform in design as the later example. A similar teapot also exists in the Shrewsbury Museum. Furthermore, the tea canister in this lot was exhibited at Ironbridge 1999 no.67.
