First Period Worcester Porcelain Beakers with Kakiemon Double Quail Design,  Circa 1770.

First Period Worcester Porcelain Beakers with Kakiemon Double Quail Design, 
Circa 1770.

The pair of First Period Worcester beakers or tumblers are painted with a double quail design in a Kakiemon palette after the Meissen with the design encompassing the whole body.  John Sandon illustrates this form with a hunting scene and calls them stirrup beakers.

Dimensions: Height 2 1/4 x diameter 2 3/4 inches

Mark: Gold crescent.

Reference: The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain, Volume I, 1751-1851, John Sandon, Page 272 for discussion of the Quail pattern and a mention of the occasional use of a gold crescent on these wares leading to a factory attribution rather than Giles. See Page 86 for a butter tub with this design and also a gold crescent.  Page 318 shows the form where the author uses the term stirrup cup and stirrup beaker.
