A set of ten 19th century coffee cans, hand-gilded and decorated with floral sprigs, together will twelve matching saucers
Condition Report: Some of the saucers are a little marked (can be cleaned), some minor gilt wear around the rims, one saucer has prevalent crazing to the glaze, the others saucers are in good general condition with no 'major' problems noted. One of the saucers has a matchhead sized chip away to the underside on the foot rim. Ten cans - 1st in good order, 2nd minor gilding away, 3rd looks OK but minor pinhead sized imperfection to the inside of the lip (firing fault), 4th another 'imperfection' (a 2cm curved crack to the bottom at the sides, not really visible), 5th has slight glaze bubbles to the bottom and 0.5cm piece 'thread' embedded in the glaze, 6th is reasonable, 7th has minor gilt rubbing on the lip, 8th appears to have the handle away and glued back on (not very well done), 9th similar with re-affixing with gold paint used to replace gilding, 10th (with lot number) has kiln grit to the inside of the can to the bottom otherwise good. Gilding as part of the pattern on the sides throughout is good.
