An important Caughley coffee cup transfer-printed with a Dragon, circa 1790-96, unmarked, 6.9cm high Provenance: Wright Collection no.389, purchased in 1987 from Simon Spero. Literature: See Ironbridge 1999 no.94, The Caughley Society, Caughley Blue and White Patterns, p.46 and Newsletter December 2004 No.20 p.14f. This is the only recorded definite piece in the Dragon pattern by Caughley. The example recorded in an article by Clifton Roberts was almost certainly Coalport instead. In 2014 Brightwells attributed a bowl in this pattern as 'possibly Caughley', eventually selling for £1050.

Sold for £270
