Shells were a common decorative motif in the fashionable rococo style of the mid-18th century. The teapot is painted in imitation of Chinese famille rose porcelain; the name ‘famille rose’ was coined in the 19th century to describe a particular style of decoration used on porcelain produced in China in the 18th century for the Western market. The style was characterised by soft colours, including notably a rose pink, like the pink used for the flowers here. Porcelain from China was expensive and available only to the wealthy upper classes in England. Staffordshire potters therefore often produced objects in salt-glazed stoneware, a less expensive material, for the middle classes of the 18th century, who wanted to emulate the habits of the gentry, including the elaborate social ritual of tea-drinking, but could not afford Oriental porcelain teawares. reference term-106496 adlib-term-106496 bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-251899070993 18th Century, Mid reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire white reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware reference term-107563 adlib-term-107563 38dcd825-1de1-3222-82c6-15a95729b5ff enamels reference term-37110 adlib-term-37110 ef92f1a8-1400-3fa3-863f-e099781ea442 salt-glaze Width cm 15.4 reference media-45660 adlib-media-45660 63274bb3-001b-39a6-84d5-5a50e57962db jpeg aa/aa4/C_597_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583451509 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_597_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583451509 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_597_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583451509 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_597_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583451509 1 image 0 media image reference media-45661 adlib-media-45661 a62ddc34-6c4b-332e-b635-afbd6045fa58 jpeg aa/aa4/C_597_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583404765 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_597_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583404765 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_597_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583404765 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_597_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583404765 1 image 1 media image reference media-45662 adlib-media-45662 0ef99b11-868a-3e97-b5af-a4392453cf5c jpeg aa/aa4/C_597_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583395364 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_597_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583395364 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_597_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583395364 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_597_20_26_20A_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583395364 1 image 2 media image reference term-91394 adlib-term-91394 2bb189d3-6008-3a4e-abbb-eb2a240e0739 teapot teapot and cover history note provenance unidentified before Galton’s shop, Christchurch, Hampshire (now Dorset), where it was purchased for £23 on 12 November 1918 by Mrs Dickson of Bournemouth on behalf of Dr J.W.L.
