Yellow-glazed earthenware teapot and cover, bat-printed onglaze in brownish-red on both sides with a couple taking tea out-of-doors. Red enamel bands round the rim, shoulder and foot.
Teapot and cover. Yellow-glazed earthenware, bat-printed onglaze in brownish-red and painted in brownish-red enamel. Globular body with projecting footring, flared cap, loop handle rising from the cape, and curved spout with a metal mount. There are six holes in the body behind the spout. Circular cover, rising very slightly in the centre where there is a cone-shaped knob. A hole is pierced near to the knob. The pot is decorated on both sides with the same print of a couple taking tea out-of-doors. They sit on a settee with a circular tea table in front of them, accompanied by a small dog who sits expectantly on the right. Behind them is a tree, and on the right, part of a balustrade and some plants. On the left, a servant stands pouring water from a kettle into a teapot. The inside of the cape is printed with a cottage in a landscape. There are bands of brownish-red enamel round the footring, the shoulder and the rim. On each side of the spout there is a stylised twig, and on its underside, a vertical row of graduated dashes. On the back of the handle there is a spot, an anthemion, and a long vertical stroke. The cover is printed with the same cottage in a landscape, and with another larger and different cottage in a landscape. There are brownish-red bands round the edge, and the knob, and a wider band on the top of the knob.
