C.39-1959\r\ngift: Dr Bernard Watney\r\nThis type of cup without handles, usually called a “chicchera” in the Ginori documents, is derived from Chinese prototypes of the Ming dynasty that were designed for drinking tea. The double-wall represents a technical tour de force and was useful for protecting the hand from the hot liquid inside. The outside wall is pierced and moulded with flowers and leafy branches. The inside wall repeats the same motif with the decoration in blue applied with a stencil “a stampino”, a technique that was typical of the First Period at Doccia. For information on the “stampino” decoration, see cat. 26. These porcelains were made in various types and were decorated with motifs in bas-relief, cameos and leaves (GINORI LISCI 1963 p. 41). At Doccia, the manufacture of double walled porcelain objects is typical of the years from 1745 to 1755 and included coffee pots as well as cups (MORAZZONI 1935; GINORI LISCI 1963, plate XXI), bowls and hand-warmers (A. Biancalana, in LA MANIFATTURA TOSCANA DEI GINORI 1998, p. 95, cat. 122).A series of double-walled bowls is in the British Museum; one is decorated with a ram’s head and has the inside wall painted with stenciled decorations in blue like this cup (DAWSON 2009, p. 21, fig. 10-12).Other similar cups are at the Musées Royaux d’Art et d’Histoire in Brussels (MOTTOLA MOLFINO 1976-1977, vol. I, fig. 46) and at the Stibbert Museum in Florence (A. d’Agliano, in LE PORCELLANE EUROPEE, 2002, p. 38, cat. 41).\r\nL.F.M.\r\nBibliography: unpublished\r\n"},{"reference":{"text":"Passion for Porcelain: masterpieces of ceramics from the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.","id":"AUTH321139"},"details":"p.183","free":""}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"flowers","id":"x35571"},{"text":"leaves","id":"x34654"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Cup with Double Walls\r\nPorcelain\r\nITALY (DOCCIA); about 1740-1745\r\nGift of Dr Bernard Watney\r\nC.39-1959\r\n(Label draft attributed to John V.
