Description
A fine first period Worcester porcelain ribbed / fluted tea bowl and saucer painted in the oriental inspired "Dragon In Compartments" pattern (also known as the "Kylin" or "Bengal Tiger" pattern), depicting, as you may expect, a dragon and a kylin in opposing panels, separated by panels showing precious objects and vases on stands. All painted in bright enamels in orange-red, pale green, puce, yellow and violet blue with gilt accents and gilt rims. Unmarked, c.1770.

The saucer measures 13.7cm (5 3/8") and 2.8cm (1 1/8") high and the tea bowl is 8cm (3 1/8") wide and 4.7cm (1 7/8") high.
