This early pair of cup and saucers match a bowl I have listed on eBay at the same time. The porcelain is very white and fine. You can see the images to the cup and saucer when held to the light. The two saucers are the early deep ones without a recessed cup ring. The saucers measure 5 1/2" (14 cm) in diameter and are 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) deep. The saucers have the "Charity" design on the inside bottom with two purple luster rings at the rim. The cups are "cut in" at the base like the matching bowl I have listed. The cups feature the "Faith" & "Hope" designs on the outside, with the double purple luster rings inside. Both cups have the exaggerated handle shape seen on Swansea, Nantgarn, and Copeland cups. The molds were purchased by Copeland from Nantgarn when Nantgarn went out of business in 1820. As well as the bowl I have listed at this time, I have two more cup and saucers which I will list if I am contacted by someone with interest. The magenta color is transferred and under the glaze. The blue, green and yellow were over painted. There are no Potters marks on any of the pieces, only a green painters mark on each, all having different lettering. These are very high quality. I have seen other "Faith, Hope & Charity" themes on many items from this time, but have been unable to find this particular set in any reference. There is a $1 read more
