Description:
English hybrid hard-paste porcelain, silver-shaped, fluted oval cream pot with a high slooping shoulders, wide everted pouring lip, high loop handle, and flat base, decorated with the 'Window' pattern in pink, orange, green, blue, black, purple, and turquoise and inscribed "425" in overglaze black on the base, the 'Window' pattern number. The New Hall Factory, which operated under several different partnerships over the years at Shelton, used this pattern on both their hybrid hard paste (described on their billhead as "real china") and, after the management changed their standard mix from the hybrid hard paste to a version of bone china about 1814, on their bone china wares. The early New Hall hybrid porcelain wares are mainly unmarked, or bear only the painted pattern number often prefixed by 'N' or 'No'; however, other firms also marked their wares in a similar fashion. The chinoiserie scene depicts a man leaning out of a window talking to a woman leaning against a table and two children, foliage, landscape in the background, and other stylized chinoiserie motifs. There is a similar pattern found on Chinese export porcelain examples, which may have been the source of this pattern. This pot is part of a 26-piece tea and coffee set with a teapot, cream pot, two waste bowls, 6 coffee cups or canns, 5 teacups, and 11 saucers.
