A very rare Worcester coffee can, circa 1752-54 Of 'Scratch Cross' type and cylindrical form with a gently spreading foot and grooved handle, painted in blue with a 'trekked' outline in darker blue with the 'Floral Swag, Ribbon and Scroll' pattern (I.E.51), 6.4cm high Fußnoten Variants of this rare pattern are found only on cups and cans. A similar example is illustrated by Simon Spero, The A J Smith Collection (2005), p.103, no.24. Most other examples of this pattern have a scroll border below the rim rather than the more unusual scroll just above the foot, as is the case in the present lot. The use of a trekked outline is indicative of an early date.
