Maiolica teapot painted in polychrome high-temperature colours
Earthenware, tin-glazed greyish-white overall. Painted in blue, green, yellow, orange-red, and manganese.
Ovoid body, standing on a low foot ring, with curved spout, double twist handle, and domed cover with narrow rim, surmounted by a knob.
On one side there are polychrome flowers and foliage springing from yellow rococo scrolls; on the other, a smaller motif of a similar type; and next to the spout, painted in manganese, a coat-of-arms: below a coronet, a shield, charged with a lion rampant crowned holding a palm branch, flanked by baroque scrollwork. The spout is decorated with scrolls and flowers, and the handle with sprays of leaves. The mouth of the pot and the end of the spout are outlined in yellow, and there is a manganese band round the foot. The cover bears the same coat-of-arms with two flower and scroll motifs. On the knob is a yellow spot with four green leaves radiating from it.
