Description

This Worcester porcelain teapot was made during the first period of production at the Worcester factory, known as the Dr Wall period (1751-76), a founder of Worcester. A rare and unusual fluted shape, painted in underglaze blue with the "Prunus Root pattern", c.1770.
A painters mark can be seen on the underside. The decoration has been executed to simulate "clobbering" (overpainting) on the surface enhancing the classic underglaze blue decoration, bringing the piece more in line with the Japanese Imari fashions of the 18th century. This a common practice with Asian porcelain of a similar period.
Overall height base to tip of knop approximately 14cm, maximum width handle to spout tip approximately 19cm.
The teapot in good condition with some minor surface wear and marks to the glaze as expected with age. The lid with two chips, the knop has some movement and has an old fix but is present, attached and secure. An unusual and attractive teapot which displays very well. Please be guided by the photographs and feel free to ask any questions.
