Description: This is a Thomas Wolfe tea cup and saucer set. It has lovely sprigs of flowers in colors of orange, blue, grey/silver. It is from the early 1800’s and trimmed with "silver lustre" (actually made by using platinum salts). Thomas Wolfe created porcelain pieces between 1792-1818. Thomas Wolfe was an experienced potter from Staffordshire when he purchased a porcelain factory in Liverpool from Mrs. Jane Penington in about 1797. One of his partners in this venture was an important London based china merchant, Miles Mason, who later became a manufacturer in Staffordshire. Another partner is less-well known; John Luckock who was perhaps the man listed in Chester & Mort's Directoryof 1796/97 as an engraver of Stoke. The partnership was short-lived and by August 1801 Wolfe was advertising the factory to let. With no ceramic manufacturers showing an interest the premises became a cornmill. During its short life the factory made a range of porcelain including blue printed wares with Chinese-style patterns. This set is in very nice condition, but of course it is over 200 years old, so there are some imperfections. Please see pictures for condition.
