Provenance
Dr R B Cole Collection;
Simon Spero exhibition, 2009, no.40
Literature
White, Mary, Drinking at the Whites' House, Vol.2, 2021, p.354, fig.b
This rare pattern is found on creamboats as well as teapots. It is therefore interesting to note that the two dividing 'supports' in the moulding of the lobed panels differ on each side of this teapot, a feature noted on many early creamboats made at Worcester. The blue and white versions of this shape of teapot at Worcester are rarer than those painted in overglaze enamels, see lot 133 in this sale. A similar example from the A J Smith Collection is illustrated by Simon Spero, , 2006, p.108, pl.29. Another is illustrated alongside a biscuit sherd of a cover from the factory site by Sam Cole, 'Early Worcester', in David Barker and Sam Cole, , p.68, fig.6 where a silver teapot which may have served as the inspiration is also illustrated, fig.7. See also the example sold by Bonhams on 30 November 2022, lot 246.
