Caughley Porcelain Teapot, c. 1790
Fluted teapot with elaborate gilding and floral sprays. This shape is an exquisite and representative example of Caughley production between 1785 and 1795. The Caughley factory was the earliest known maker of porcelain in Shropshire, and it was active from 1772 until 1799 when it was bought by John Rose of Coalport. The teapot carries the “S” mark, which stands for Salopian. For an illustration of this pattern, see Geoffrey A. Godden, Caughley and Worcester Porcelains 1775-1800 (New York, 1969), plate 196. There is an old repair to the base of the spout, which is difficult to see. Otherwise in very good condition. |
