FIRST PERIOD WORCESTER WHITE PORCELAIN TEAPOT

England, c1758-60

A rare example, in blanc de chine, of barrel form with flowering branch decoration between scroll

and dot upper and lower borders, leaf and opening flower finial with corresponding dot

and scroll border; pegged footrim; unmarked

Note: Very few Worcester wares were left in the white. There are two barrel-form teapots know –

this version and a rarer Chinese landscape. Most white wares were left to Bow, due to the whiteness

of the Bow porcelain. This decoration is not applied, as was the Bow, but pressed by hand into a

mold while being spun on a wheel (called jollied).

Provenance: Bearing a sticker for Manheim, NYC

Condition: Excellent

4.5” to top of finial
