The Waiting Chinaman pattern is quite common and very popular on Worcester tea wares, this is the Caughley hand painted version which is very rare. I am offering this wonderful teabowl and saucer with a beautifully clear handpainted scene of a Chinese figure standing by a fence to the collectors of rare Caughley. There is a very fine hairline to the saucer which appears to come from a small firing flaw on the back, this is barely visible on the front. The teabowl has a small very tight hairline to the rear of the main pattern low down. There are no chips or restoration. The glaze is typical Caughley being silky smooth. The Salopian S to both pieces. Saucer measures 12.5 cms. Teabowl measures 8 cms diameter.
