John Yates Georgian True Trio

This is a beautiful true trio consisting of a teacup, a coffee cup and a saucer, made by Yates circa 1825, in the Regency period. For similar examples see A Compendium of British Cups by Michael Berthoud – Plate 781. Now highly collectable this beautiful set is a fine example of it’s decadent era. Hand potted from early white porcelain and made in a fluted shape with Old English handles. Each piece has been hand painted with floral sprays in bright enamels with a wide cobalt blue band and garlands of gilded vines. Cups and saucers were sold as trios consisting of a teacup, a coffee cup and a saucer in the early 19th Century as you would never drink tea and coffee from the same cup so why invest in an extra saucer. Tea cup – 5.5 cm x 9.5 cm Coffee cup – 6 cm x 8 cm diameter Saucer – 14.7 cm diameter Fabulous quality and condition, 200 years old. As these pieces are hand painted the design may vary, only slightly from the photos.
