This is a rare and beautiful chocolate cup with a lid made by Worcester circa 1775 in their First or the "Dr Wall" period. Worcester was one of the first potteries in Britain to create items in porcelain. Alongside other great potteries such as Derby, Chelsea and Bow, they pioneered a new industry that would grow out to be huge in the following century. This cup and saucer are from the first period, which is often called the "Dr Wall" period after its founder. In later years Worcester went through many different ownerships and styles, and ultimately it became the Royal Worcester factory that only finished operation in the early 21st Century. Chocolate cups were to feed well-to-do ladies while they were being helped by their servants with their toilette. In the age of complicated dresses, lots of make up and very complex coiffure, this could take several hours and the hungry lady would survive on chocolate milk and snacks. The reason a chocolate cup has two handles is that it makes it safer for a sleepy person to pick it up; the lid is to protect it from the odd cloud powder or make up. This chocolate cup with cover is potted in early porcelain; it has a slightly cream/grey hue as it contains no or very little bone ash. The shape is a Classic wasted Worcester chocolate cup shape with two wonderful handles; this closely resembles Chinese items from the 18th Century. The cover has a flower for a finial. The design is an imitation of the Japanese Kakiemon...
