Neoclassical Teapot

ca. 1810

Minton

Gilded bone china

6 1/2 in. H x 10 3/4 in. L (16.5 cm H x 27.5 cm L)

From 1800 to 1816, the Minton porcelain factory introduced at least 948 patterns in the new medium of bone china. The pattern on this teapot, number 238, is referred to as the “Paris” design and appears in the original 1810 Minton pattern book. The teapot is a stunning exercise in two-toned gilding, with an alternating design of Neoclassical vases and stylized acanthus leaves.
