Description:
English pearlware teaset with 19 pieces, decorated with the "Queen's Rose" pattern in purple, red, pink, yellow, and green. These pieces, made for the American market, were also known as "Gaudy Dutch". In the early 19th century - these tea services had different and as yet unknown pattern names - they may have just been called "painted." Collectors call this pattern "Queen's Rose." The "King's Rose" pattern had a large orange or red cabbage rose with green, yellow, and pink leaves surrounding it as accents formed the center of the design. The "Queen's Rose" pattern features a pink rose as the center with accent colors in more delicate tones.
