A Lowestoft porcelain coffee cup, hand decorated by the Tulip painter with the so called lemon flower pattern c1770-80.
The cup measures 7.5cm in diameter including handle and stands 5.8cm tall.
Excellent condition.
Unmarked.
This pattern is probably the most common of the patterns associated to the Tulip painter. However this example is rather special showing very little signs of age, with the onglaze colours showing the appearance of being made yesterday.
