Description:
Chinese export porcelain globular-shaped teapot with cover, C-shaped coil handle and straight, upturned spout decorated the Famille rose palette of pink, purple, white, iron red, green, blue, yellow, black, and gilding. The domed cover has a gilt acorn knop, floral sprays, and a gilt double chain with diamonds in iron red accents around the gilt-edged rim. The pot rim has the same gilt chain, and both sides have the gilt crest of "a hawk rising" or "falcon with wings expanded" over an impaled coat of arms with two hawks or falcons separated by a bar on the left and three stars on the right, flanked by rococo scroling. The arms have not been identified; "Fairbairn's Crests" lists a number of families with the same crest. There are four vertical floral sprays, one on each side of the handle and spout.
