4. Worcester Tea Bowl painted with the prunus root pattern. Slight chip to footrim. Workman’s mark to base. 1755-60.

On the sale of the Caughley factory in 1779 the new owner, John Rose ceased manufacturing soft paste porcelain and changed to bone china, the formula having been recently discovered by Josiah Spode. it is possible that Rose or the previous owner Turner had added some of the new clay creating a hybrid paste. Either way the bowl is Caughley soft paste porcelain pre 1800.
