Child's PUNCH & JUDY This fanciful child's transferware cup and saucer set dates to c.1890. Originally part of a complete children's tea set, the round cup stands 2" tall and the saucer measures about 4 5/8" in diameter with fluting along the rim. The pieces are transfer printed in rich cherry red or dark English pink. The set features the fabulous characters from the Punchinella puppet show (dating back to Italy in the early 17th century) of Punch, Judy and baby, and and a fanciful pipe-smoking frog, and Mrs. Frog wearing a bonnet and sipping tea! These whimsical characters are surrounded by an aesthetic display of flowers and geometrical whimsies. This pattern is pictured and discussed in Lorraine Punchard's Playtime Porcelain and Pottery as well as in Gifts for Good Children (Volume 2) written by Maureen Batkin and published by Richard Dennis . The pattern name is "Punch". It was made by Charles Allerton & Sons, a pottery manufacturer in the Staffordshire region of England in the mid-to-late 19th century, known for his whimsical children's teasets.The saucer is marked "Staffordshire England". The set is in great condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. Stilt marks, original to the making. Overall crazing and insignificant manufacturing imperfections consistent with age. The transfers are clear and crisp. The pieces are amazing for a little set that belonged to a child more than 100 years ago! Transferware in the Punch and Judy pattern is quite scarce and highly sought after, and is getting harder to find, particularly in such fine condition. This amusing set will make a wonderful addition to your dollhouse or collection of children's dishes or any collection of Punch and Judy, jester, puppetry or magical memorabilia. We have listed a matching plate, along with a whimsical array of child's transferware dishes this week. We are always happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases.
