Fellow Histarchers,
Despite the many references describing gilded soft-paste English porcelain
tea cups and saucers, does anyone have a reference to their function apart
from the obvious but unstated ceremonial consumption of tea? Today they'd
most likely be used for display, but what when produced in the 1820s for
example?
All the best,
Shane Burke
