Ovoid body with gently curving spout and ear-shaped handle, the slightly domed cover surmounted by a knob in the shape of a multi-petalled flower on a stalk with two leaves. There are five strainer holes on the interior between spout and body, and on the cover, a ventilation hole beside the knob, and a suspension hole in the inner rim. The ground is bleu céleste with two heart-shaped reserves on the body and two kidney-shaped on the cover, framed by gold scrolls and floral sprays which project at the sides. The reserves are painted in polychrome with two exotic birds (two in each panel on the body and one in each panel on the cover), standing on the branches of low tree, with bushes and trees in the background. There is a single bird in flight on the lower part of the spout, which like the handle is left white. The flower knob is yellow with agreen centre. There are bands of gilding round the foot and the junction of the spout and body; dentilated bands of gilding round the rim of the pot and edge of the cover; and lines of gilding down the sides of the handle. The stem of the knob is gilded.

The théière Calabre was the most common teapot form made at Sèvres. It was in production by December 1752, and was available in two sizes by 1753. Eventually there were five sizes, which were not clearly identified by the factory. Savill (Documentation 1988) divided them into size groups A to F. This pot is her size B about 13.2 to 14.7 cm high. François-Joseph Aloncle (1734-81) was employed at Sèvres between 1758 and his death. Although he sometimes painted other subjects, he was primarily a bird painter. reference term-113159 adlib-term-113159 4bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e 18th Century, third quarter reference
