Description:
English hybrid hard-paste porcelain teacup and saucer decorated in blue, dark blue, red, green, and gold over a blue transfer print outline, which is known as pattern number "856" made by the New Hall Factory. The New Hall Factory, which operated under several different partnerships over the years at Shelton, first used a hybrid hard-paste porcelain as their standard mix (described on their billhead as "real china"), and then changed that mix to a version of bone china about 1814. The early New Hall hybrid porcelain wares are mainly unmarked, or bear only the painted pattern number often prefixed by 'N' or 'No'; however, other firms also marked their wares in a similar fashion. This elaborate floral pattern is one of several versions (e.g., #272, 274, 360 and 490) that used the same transfer-printed outline pattern, which were altered by adding different color combinations.
