Georgian Thomas Wolfe (Factory Z) porcelain set of 3 bat-printed tea slop bowls, c. 1800

£160.00

A rare set of 3 Georgian china slop bowls. Very fine and thin porcelain is trimmed with gold band and bat printed en-grisaille with classical urns that are festooned with beautiful gilt garlands. The interior centre of each bowl is hand-painted with small delicate gold flowers.

Once considered an essential part of any tea service, slop bowls were used to collect the tea dregs from the bottom of a teacup. Leftover tea, along with any tea leaves, would be placed into the bowl in preparation for pouring another round of tea.

Made by Thomas Wolfe (Factory Z), Stoke-on-Trent, England, c. 1800’s.
