A pretty Grainger's tea cup and saucer in the Gloster shape, c.1835, painted with a central vignette of exotic birds in rainbow colours perched in gilt branches. Deep underglaze blue border wiith moulded, shaped rim with beaded reserve in pale yellow enamel and gilt edged. A grape vine frieze runs along the lower edge of the blue framing the central reserve.
