{"product_id":"taylor-kent-antique-imari-tea-saucer","title":"Antique Taylor \u0026 Kent Imari Tea Saucer","description":"\u003cp\u003eCobalt panels, iron-red flowers and white reserves arrange this single tea saucer into a lively Imari-inspired design. Gilt accents draw the eye around its border, making it useful both as an individual display piece and as a possible match for an appropriate antique cup. It joins other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tea-and-coffee-table\"\u003etea and coffee table pieces\u003c\/a\u003e without being represented as a complete cup and saucer set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe underside is described with a crowned T \u0026amp; K L mark associated with Taylor \u0026amp; Kent of Longton. A second painted number appears to read 121, but that reading and whether it is a pattern or decorator reference remain unconfirmed. The Longton connection supports an English attribution; it does not establish a single production year. The existing description suggests a late nineteenth or early twentieth-century period from mark style and decoration. Its coloured ornament offers a clear account of the object even where the small painted number is uncertain. The source grades the saucer Excellent and reports no chips or cracks, a condition assessment that still merits physical verification.
