Antique Staffordshire Green Spatterware Spongeware Cup & Saucer - Peafowl Design

This early Staffordshire cup and saucer features a hand-decorated peafowl rendered in rich red, purple, and green enamels against a sponge-applied green ground. The expressive folk-art style bird, combined with the soft spatter decoration and early form, reflects the charm and individuality of early 19th-century Staffordshire wares. Pieces like this were decorated entirely by hand, giving each example subtle variations that are prized by collectors today.
