C.154&A-1922\r\ngift: Mrs Herbert Allen\r\nCup and saucer, probably not a matching set, with Saxony-style decorations in colours and gold. The cup has an oriental figure and the saucer has an oriental figure in a genre scene with a man unloading a crate, probably taken from the engraving illustrating a “Vue duMosle de Naples ou Fort de la Lanterne” by Benedict Alphonse Nicolet based on a design by Claude Louis Chatelet (DE SAINT NON 1781-1786, vol. I, part I, p. 80b, n. 56). The tapered shape of the cup would suggest a date towards the end of the 18th century but the shape of the handle which represents an intermediate phase between the Baroque types and the “Neapolitan” ones (see cat. 79), implies a date that is at least ten years earlier. In the Register of acquisitions of the Museum, there is a note that states that the cup was purchased for £. 1.10p from E. van Baarle byMr Herbert Allen, the husband of the donor.
