Description:
English creamware globular-shaped teapot with a cover, crabstock handle and spout decorated in blue, green, yellow, purple, and iron-red. The lid has a simple waisted knop and an incised band around the top edge, and is decorated with a chinoiserie scene of a pagoda with a flag flying from the top, rocks, flowers, foliage; and what appears to be two birds overhead around a bowl of fruit. One side of the body has a scene of a king wearing his royal robes and carrying sceptor with an exotic bird flying overhead, which he seems to be watching. There is a large manor house with turrets and a small church with a cross and fence, and rocks and foliage as the background, all framed by two tall trees. The opposite side has a chinoiserie landscape scene of a tall central figure with his back towards the viewer carrying a parrot on a circle hanging from a pole and a flying insect overhead. There is a small house with a fence, a cross-shape, rocks, flowers, foliage, and two trees, the tall one to the right of the scene in the background. The enamel painting is very thick.
