Developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the early 1770s, caneware seems to have predicted the 19th-century Regency fashion for all things chinoiserie. Most Wedgwood caneware pieces featured bamboo motifs and prunus blossoms that appealed to consumers’ taste for the “exotic,” a trend that was carried well into the 19th century. This Wedgwood prunus caneware teapot, made circa 1810, would have fit well within a Regency-style setting with its molded prunus blossom design and bamboo-like handle, spout, and knop.
