The Fancy Fox

Description

A delightful Minton coffee can trio decorated in the fabulous pattern number 106 known usually as the Crazy Cow pattern but also sometimes as the Bengal Tiger, c.1800-1805. Bright iron red, deep green and royal blue enamels in a very busy foliate pattern with the stylised cow (or tiger) in the centre of the saucer and plate. All pieces marked with the pattern number in blue.

Reference "Minton Pottery & Porcelain Of The First Period" by Godden, page 37 and plate 29.

The plate measures 16.2cm (6 3/8") wide and 1.5cm (5/8") high. The saucer measures 14cm (5") wide and 3cm (1 1/8") high. The coffee can measures 6.3cm (2 15/16") high, 6.5cm (2") rim to rim and 8.5cm (3 3/8") rim to handle.

Condition is very good with no damage or repair. There is a hairline in the glaze under the base of the plate and some firing faults in the glaze in the same area. Surface wear is very light in the main the enamels are all quite raised and can easily suffer from handling wear but the only main points to note are 2 small paint losses to the blue ring in the centre of the plate and a bit of wear to the rim of the can.
