Coffee pot

We are pleased to offer this rare Liverpool soft-paste porcelain coffee pot made in England in the late 18th century, circa 1785.                          The pot is painted with a lovely chinoiserie scene on both sides of the body.                                                                                                                              In the scene, a lady stands in front of a blossoming plum tree.                                                                                                                                                        She offers a basket of sweets to two boys.

The artisan skillfully integrated chinoiserie figures into the design to add exotic appeal in an era when China was still a distant land of mystery.             Dimensions: 10.5″ tall x 8.5″ deep x 5″ wide.            Condition: Very good with a single fine short hairline (see images).
