English Aesthetic Movement Stoneware Teapot c1920

$125.00

With a Japanese influence so typical of the aesthetic movement, this lovely teapot was apparently a carryover of days gone by some two decades later. Dating to the 1920s, the stippled body is decorated with an overglaze enamel pattern of alternating zig-zag and fan vertical bands that flank colorful floral panels all around. Each of the two sides features one lone bright flower (clematis?), fuchsia in color that fades to white, with cinnamon brown tendrils waving here and there on a bright green vine. At the spout and handle, a gathering of delicate buds stand young and strong, in relief. The colors and style are somewhat reminiscent of majolica pottery.

In very good condition, I find no nicks, chips, or cracks, only two paint flakes at the base of the bottom petal on each of the embossed side flowers.

Tea pot measures 6" high, 8-1/2" spout to handle. Marked on the underside with the British Registry No. 703242, dating this to the mid-1920s (1924), along with the letters RPCo, a lettering combination used in England by various potters since the mid-1800s.
