Best of Bonnechere - Cups

These large fragments and partially reconstructed vessels of white ironstone likely represent two teacups and a slop bowl. The earliest examples of white ironstone tended to be plainer; the most popular bore embossed patterns of grain. Florals were promoted late in the 19th century. The provenance information on one vessel's interior is important for reconstruction and interpretation.
