RARE Antique Early WEDGWOOD PEARLWARE CHRYSANTHEMUM LARGE TEAPOT English c1800s

Capacity: 8-10 Cups An extremely rare teapot which was produced by widely recognised English china company Wedgwood in the George III Regency period. The teapot is a beautiful example of the iconic Pearlware’Chrysanthemum’ dinner and teawares collection and was first produced in the early 1800s. The pattern was so popular it was reproduced again in the late 1800s… This pattern is likely a copy of an original imported item and Wedgwood made many items like this with a Chinoiserie design. Decorated with vibrant Chinoiserie motifs featuring vivid Red Chrysanthemums, Green Foliage and Cobalt Blue Acanthus embellished with Gilt and all overlaid on a detailed Ochre’fish roe’ background. The teapot is beautifully finished with a dark brown floral motif to the collar and an unusual stepped, gilded solid handle and trim. Further enhanced decoration to the lid completes the teapot. Condition: An extremely rare teapot… In amazing excellent antique condition commensurate for age and use… Clean inside with a touch of crazing… One teeny hairline at the top rim, nothing to spoil the item… Tiny spot of crazing to the inside spout and interior… Some scattered yellowish/light brown marks, slight wear to the pattern (on the green leaves) in small areas… Apart from that the teapot is antique perfect in every way… Colours and pattern still amazingly vibrant… And such a rare item! British porcelain was fired on coal in the early 1800s, and it’s natural that china from this process would result in occasional firing specks or lines and possibly develop crazing over time. This should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the manufacturing process at the time. Backstamp: Impressed Wedgwood quite faint & 51. Their Georgian and Regency patterns were of exceptional quality as were their Neo Classical designs. Patronage from Royal clients included Queen Charlotte, George III’s consort. After delivering the Queen’s order, Wedgwood received her permission to call his Creamware goods’Queensware. His new innovation was the Classical style inspired by excavations of ancient Greek and Roman sites. Combined with an earthenware material he developed known as jasper ware, this produced the blue & white cameo items that are commonly associated with Wedgwood. The brand still conveys a sense of tradition and is associated with other prestigious companies such as Waterford and Royal Doulton. Items are just as collectable today as in the past..
