Description
The soup coupe and matching plate is one of the more formal pairings in the English bone china table service tradition, and in Royal Albert's Lady Hamilton pattern, with its deep burgundy panels, gilt detailing, and delicate floral cartouches, it is a pairing of considerable elegance, the two pieces working together with the visual coherence of a set designed for the most considered of dining occasions.
Made by Royal Albert of Stoke-on-Trent, this soup coupe and matching plate are decorated with the Lady Hamilton pattern's signature combination of deep burgundy border panels, gilt rim and detailing, and delicate floral cartouches framing a central floral bouquet, the combination that has made Lady Hamilton one of the most enduring and widely collected Royal Albert designs. The soup coupe, a shallow, wide bowl without handles that is used for serving consomme or cream soups at formal dinners, is a form that requires the full decorative programme of the pattern to be rendered across a relatively shallow surface, and the Lady Hamilton decoration, with its rich colour and fine gilding, rises to the challenge with considerable elegance. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
