Teapot

This John Rose Coalport teapot was made in England circa 1805.

Since about 1820, the shape of the teapot has been known as the “Old Oval Shape”.

The horizontal band of a gorgeous neoclassical pattern of shields and spears accentuates the oval shape.

Following a stencil, the artist hand painted the teapot using gilt, orange, and peach.

Dimensions: 10.25″ long x 4.25″ wide x 6.25″ tall

Condition: The porcelain is in excellent condition. There is some rubbing to the gilt decoration, which can be seen in the images.
