| this lovely Caolport set dates c. 1891-1920. It is one of Coalport's most intricate and popular patterns. The Bat Wing pattern originated in 1896. It started out as a fairly plain pattern comprised of two or three solid blocks of color, each resembling in shape the outstretched wings of a bat in silhouette. Small floral bouquets were added between the bat wings, and lavish gilt was added to make a strikingly beautiful design that was no longer plain. The rims on tea ware having this pattern are usually gadrooned, and the ground color is cobalt blue, red, or green. This pattern was so popular that it was used on demitasse sets as well as tea sets. The cup has decoration on the inside and is 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"; the saucer is 4 2/3". This set has a rich cobalt blue ground with lavish gold. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. |
