Provenance
With Simon Spero, 2011
Literature
White, Mary, Drinking at the Whites' House, Vol.2, 2021, p.299, fig.c
Mary White notes the sympathetic manner of the repair to the teapot; the wooden handle, which is most likely an 18th century replacement, follows the faux bamboo original. Repairs of this nature reflect the value and importance placed on these items when they were at the apex of the luxury porcelain market in London. A teapot with its original porcelain handle and spout is in the Art Institute of Chicago, 1982.14a-b. An example with a similar replacement spout and scrolled wooden handle is illustrated by Jonathan Harris, 'Handled with Care', , Vol.LII, 2016, p.54, fig.5A.
Other extant teapots are enamelled either in the Kakiemon taste, see the example from the Parkinson Collection, sold by Sotheby's on 21 June 1966, lot 114, or with European flowers and insects after Vincennes, see the example in the Victoria & Albert Museum (inv. no.2877&A-1901).
