Description:
English Lowestoft soft-paste porcelain teacup decorated with a chinoiserie landscape scene in blue with a two-story pagoda, stylized tree, sailing boats, and a small island with a building around the sides, and a sylized berry-like pattern around the interior of the rim; and an unidentified blue mark on the interior of the raised foot rim. Lowestoft was a seaside town on the Suffolk coast, which 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.
