Victorian Majolica Embossed and Painted Floral Cup Dainty, diminutive and precious! We have several questions on this cutie as to its maker and whether or not it had a saucer, however for the price it would make a wonderful addition to your cabinet display of dainties.

I would venture to call the bluish lavender flower a Morning Glory but I am no Botanist. It is reminiscent of Majolica in it's form and high sheen slightly lustered glaze. Extremely well defined overlapping flower petal shape with high relief blue florals, gilt leaves and vine.

The paint is in excellent condition as is the gold detail. The cup is formed of broad leaves that have a cream and pale yellow paint wash effect. Ornate handle is detailed with gold.

Measures 2 inches tall by 2.25 inches including the handle. Incised mark 7170 with artist hash-mark in ink. English attribution.

Pate Sur Pate, literally 'paste on paste' is the building up of a picture or design on a piece of porcelain by the careful application of layers of hand painted slip (liquid porcelain clay the consistency of thick cream) - possibly the most skillful, time consuming and costly of all ceramic decoration processes. A thin layer of white, or light coloured, porcelain slip applied to a darker unfired ground layer will achieve a degree of translucency when the piece goes through the firing kiln.

Successive layers applied prior to the firing will retain that translucency to a lesser degree until finally, when enough layers have been applied, the translucency will be all but lost. A skillful artist, and there were never that many of them, can manipulate the layers to produce a unique work of art of incredible beauty. Pate sur Pate requires the skill of an artist, and a far sighted one. The translucence is not apparent in the wet or raw state and to foresee the fired result must be a combination of experience and imagination. As a means of decoration Pate sur Pate was fairly short lived. By the start of the twentieth century production had dropped dramatically. The public may have still wanted it but it was proving much to expensive to produce.

A lovely gift or addition to your private collection. Thank you for visiting Aurora's Attic Treasures.
