Description:
English creamware squat, globular teapot and cover with its scrolling vine-shaped finial terminating in a molded leaf. The teapot has a terraced border around the rim; is decorated around the sides with sprig-molded rosettes and scrolling fruiting grape vines and leaves; has a molded crabstock handle and spout; and sits on three lion paw feet. According to Roger Massey, the early evolution of creamware parallels the development of salt-glazed stoneware which used similar raw material. Both types of pottery reflected the contemporary fashion for extensive molded or sprigged decoration, and often the same designs are found on both salt-glazed stoneware and creamware, such as found on this teapot. Condition: Finial restored; spout restored to tip.
