Early 19th-century Gaudy Dutch teacup and saucer, hand-painted in vibrant polychrome enamels with peony and foliate motifs, highlighted by cobalt reserves and fine yellow accents. Produced in England during the Georgian period (c.1810), the set is made in a soft-paste body typical of the era, with the slightly translucent glaze and gentle firing imperfections collectors value.

The bold, folk-art quality decoration that defines Gaudy Dutch ware was intended to be lively and expressive, and surviving examples in intact condition are increasingly scarce. This matching cup and saucer display well, with strong color and an appealing period presence.
