Early Napier, New Zealand, Souvenir Cup


Item number: C5223
Date: circa 1900–1913
Price: NZ$29.00

An early Grafton China (A B Jones & Sons, England) souvenir cup for the town of Napier, in New Zealand. This is very fine china, cream and high gloss, a little like Belleek. The cup has a tulip shape, with body embossing to rim and lip. Gilding around edges. It carries the crest for Napier on one side — crest has wear to it. Maker’s mark is for the period 1900–1913. Very good condition — some wear to the gilding and the crest. There is a tiny little rough firing lump on the rim.
