Description:
English Lowestoft soft-paste porcelain teacup fragment decorated in blue, which was found at the Lowestoft factory site. Lowestoft was a seaside town on the Suffolk coast that produced soft-paste procelain. Its distance from the main centers of ceramic production contributed to the individual nature of its products and its slow stylistic development. Founded c.1757 by five partners, the factory continued to produce wares until circa 1799, when the factory faced financial hardships from the increased competition with Staffordshire earthenwares.
