However, Robin Price has managed to divide many surviving examples of redware into groups, based on the pseudo-Chinese seal marks they use. This teapot belongs to Price’s ‘Group III’. All the wares in this group have exactly the same square seal mark with a ‘K’-like symbol in the bottom right hand corner. Many of the items in the group also share identical mould-applied reliefs, handles and spouts, suggesting they were all produced by a single manufacturer. David Barker (1991) has attributed to Group III to Thomas Barker, a potter operating in the Foley area of Fenton (now part of Stoke-on-Trent) in the 1760s and 1770s. Excavations at a site on King Street in Fenton discovered a deposit of sherds dating from c.1770, which included redware. All the redware bases discovered at the site were marked with the Group III pseudo-seal mark and many featured mould-applied reliefs identical to those used on Group III wares, including the small female figure accompanied by a peacock used on this teapot. Documentary evidence suggests that this site was the location of Thomas Barker’s pottery. Dry-bodied (unglazed) red stonewares were produced by many potters in the mid-18th century. The wares, almost always related to the drinking of tea or coffee, imitated imported Yi-Xing red stoneware from China; for example, this teapot is marked with a pseudo-Chinese seal mark and is decorated with Chinoiserie figures. Prints and illustrated books like ‘The Ladies Amusement’ helped to spread and popularise Chinoiserie imagery inspired by oriental culture. reference term-113159 adlib-term-113159 4bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e 18th Century, third quarter reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-113600 adlib-term-113600 20f685d7-6d4b-3b6a-a704-68779b602e91 literal England England country The Foley Fenton reference term-109012 adlib-term-109012 6b3470f9-1fc6-37b1-a546-0fa985333828 red dry-bodied stoneware reference media-44474 adlib-media-44474 6110d905-f382-3dda-8ea2-dd140e237549 jpeg aa/aa3/C_459_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583311742 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_459_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583311742 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_459_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583311742 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_459_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583311742 1 image 0 media image reference media-44475 adlib-media-44475 2891a4f1-0913-3eb5-8dfd-049ac0d339a0 jpeg aa/aa3/C_459_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583302069 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_459_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583302069 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_459_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583302069 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_459_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583302069 1 image 1 media image reference media-44476 adlib-media-44476 c2df0889-d72c-3c01-98cb-2c85885166cd jpeg aa/aa3/C_459_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583318405 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_459_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583318405 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_459_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583318405 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_459_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583318405 1 image 2 media image reference term-91394 adlib-term-91394 2bb189d3-6008-3a4e-abbb-eb2a240e0739 teapot teapot and cover history note provenance unknown before Mr Stoner, London, who sold it for £6 on 27 May 1918 to Dr J.W.L.
