Figure 11 Hexagonal teapot, East London, England, ca. 1744. Porcelain.
H. 3 1/8". (Private collection.) Enameled in the Kakiemon
style with an incised A, this teapot has a replacement silver
spout. The palette shows many similarities to the covered bowl and comprises
iron red, bluish green, vibrant mid-blue, bright yellow, and mauve. Note
that much of the design was initially outlined in thin black and subsequently
filled in. |
