Teapot at Cardiff Museum, Wales

myminifactory

This charming earthenware piece was hand-moulded with under-glaze colours from a renowned 19th Century England factory. The pearlwares glaze has a distinctive blue tint, and the diamond-shaped form boasts a waisted foot, straight sides, and sharp shoulder. A pointed gallery is moulded with short leaves, while the curving spout and square-shouldered angular handle add to its unique design. The domed cover is diamond-shaped, topped with a finial modelled in the form of a majestic swan, complete with a pierced steam hole on one side. Delicate floral sprigs and sprays in pink, yellow, and green adorn either side of the body, while borders of red and blue bands and red dots encircle the shoulder and rim of the cover. Additional blue bands are found around the lower body and gallery. This exquisite object is, without a doubt, a teapot, ready to be cherished!
