This porcelain cup and saucer was made by Sampson Bridgwood and Son of Longton, Staffordshire. It is decorated with the pattern, printed in puce, Faith, Hope & Charity, the three well known Biblical virtues from 1 Corinthians 13. Faith and Hope are on either side of the cup and Charity graces the saucer. The saucer carries the impressed mark Bridgwood & Son. According to Geoffrey Godden, Bridgwood porcelains seldom bear a mark, except for the rarely found impressed mark Bridgwood & Son which can occur on porcelains (see page 189 Encyc. of British Porcelain Manufacturers).
