Description:
Chinese export porcelain teapot with cover and coil handle, decorated in pink, purple, brown, red, green, black and gilding. Hervouet and Bruneau document a teapot stand with a similar scene, which they classify as part of a group decorated in the style of c.1730-1740 Meissen porcelain, which influenced Chinese Export porcelain decoration in the following decades. The globular teapot is decorated with two waterscapes of two Western sailing ships with pennants flying in a Chinese bay with a flock of birds flying overhead, and buildings and a tower along the shores. The domed cover has a gilt acorn or tear-shaped knop and four shaped reserves separated by gilt foliate scrolls, two with a Chinese mountainscape in pink and two with a stylized design, and a band of gilt scrollwork around the rim edge. Check if lid is a replacement or original?
