Description:

This hybrid-hard-paste teabowl and saucer was made at the Liverpool factory of Wolfe, Mason and Lucock.  This factory specalised in making Chinese-looking porcelain to fill the gap in that market caused by the East India Company ceasing to import Chinese porcelain.  Despite seeking to emulate Chinese painted patterns, Wolfe & Co used printing for their blue and white patterns.The design on this tea bowl
