Cabaret sets are not often encountered in the marketplace. This porcelain Davenport set is decorated in a richly designed Imari/Japan pattern. In Godden's Guide to English Porcelain by Geoffrey Godden, the renowned author of ceramic subjects, page 159, he writes ". . . the Davenport porcelains continued on a very high level. In the 1870s and 1880s some very colourful Japan patterns were produced in the Derby manner." "The standard porcelain mark of the 1870-1887 period is shown here." (showing the backstamp used on this set.)<p> The set consists of a teapot with lid; sugar bowl with lid; creamer with lid; two cups and saucers, and a tray. The hand-decoration is done in cobalt blue, cinnabar, peach, green, and extensive use of gold. Dimensions of the pieces are:

teapot is 5" high, 5-1/2" from front to back, and 4" wide at the base

sugar is 4-1/2" high, and 3-3/4" diameter at the base

creamer is 3-3/4" high, 3-3/4" front to back, and 3" wide at the base

cups are 3" across the top, 2-5/8" tall, and 3-3/4" including the handle

saucers are just under 5-1/2 across, and 3/4" high at the edge,

and the tray is 18-1/2" across the handles, 12" wide, and 1-3/4" high at the edge.<p>The mark is the crown mark, with "Davenport, Longport, Staffordshire" printed underneath. The pattern number is 3714.
Most of the pieces are in excellent condition, without cracks, chips, or repairs. The decoration is bright and without wear. There are two short hairlines ...
