Castleford-type teapot with ovoid body, a short oval galleried neck with diamond shaped rim and an S curved spout. Reeded loop handle, squared at the top to form a thumb-rest. Smear glazed inside and outside. The sides of the body, formed with ten flat panels above a slightly concave ribbon, are translucent. The base ribbon is decorated with curving, upstanding leaves. On one central panel two winged figures, one carrying a staff, hold a mirror above a naked figure which rests on a shield and holds a cornucopia. On the other, six peasants wearing caps are gathered around a barrel, one holds a book, another plays bag-pipes. On either side of each central scene is a narrower panel with a vertical ivy spray. On the shoulder, stylised acanthus hang down from the gallery, which is moulded and cut to a design of repeating square diamonds.The cover is also formed of ten panels; it is domed, with radiating curved leaves beneath a flower finial, and has two vent holes. The interior has a domed strainer at base of the spout. The underside is unglazed and slightly recessed, giving a narrow foot-rim.

The handle, finial and semi-translucent body of this example confirm that it was not made by Dunderdale (see Cox). The peasant scene, probably taken from a contemporary print, is also to be found on C.1277 & A-1928. These two teapots may thus come from the same maker; they also have similarly modelled finials of a design which could perhaps link them to Chetham & Woolley. However, variations between different factories were often slight and popular sprig moulds were sometimes copied. The other scene has been variously identified as Flora, Cupid and Prudence or the marriage of Cupid & Psyche (Rachkam, Edwards Roussel). The Castleford Pottery in Yorkshire, run by David Dunderdale & Co. from 1790 to1821, was renowned for its white felspathic stoneware, and thus teapots from this material have become known as ‘Castleford-type teapots’. However, other factories made similar wares, including Sowter & co of Mexborough in Yorkshire and Chetham & Woolley of Longton in Staffordshire. Examples are typically plain white or white with edges lined in blue or another colour, or black basalt. The smear-glazing makes the most of the crisply-moulded ornament, whilst the stoneware would be durable in an everyday setting. The teapots are moulded in two parts, with applied handle and sprig decoration, and may have a drop-in, sliding or hinged cover. There are four examples in the Fitzwilliam Collection, of which two have sliding lids and two have added blue lining. reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-110418 adlib-term-110418 05d711c6-8b77-3dc8-801e-fbc4d8c52049 Longton white felspathic reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware reference media-35455 adlib-media-35455 10af9868-6fda-349f-b100-d08ae9c85d17 jpeg aa/aa4/C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582434932 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742582434932 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582434932 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742582434932 1 image 0 media image reference media-35456 adlib-media-35456 735b5d9e-5949-37be-88ee-3f4b66020335 jpeg aa/aa4/C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582468014 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742582468014 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582468014 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_1275_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742582468014 1 image 1 media image reference term-91394 adlib-term-91394 2bb189d3-6008-3a4e-abbb-eb2a240e0739 teapot reference term-117371 adlib-term-117371 fe1e9c7c-8ecc-340b-83f8-c75e822eb1d0 teapot and cover reference term-133927 adlib-term-133927 0cde1f32-bd09-3603-96a6-a595a568b673 Castleford type teapot history note Bought on 30 June 1905 from Mr Phillips of Hitchin by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge, price 12/6d (twelve shillings and sixpence) 1 reference object-71711 adlib-object-71711 781e4209-6e85-3662-bf75-13c263bd0da9
