Add to album

An invalid cup was used for feeding those too sick or unable to feed themselves. This transfer-printed earthenware example has a spout for feeding and a flat cover. It dates from the 19th century.

The pattern is a variation of the design 'TRIUMPHAL CAR'. It shows a woman in a chariot drawn by two lionesses. Two women playing musical instruments are heading the procession. The cover has a deep border of naturalistic flower heads and leaves.

This pattern was one of the most popular produced by J. & M.P.Bell of Glasgow. It was also produce by James Jamieson of Bo'ness in West Lothian and John Thomson of Glasgow.
