| Figure 12 Hexagonal teapot and cover, East London, England, ca. 1743. Porcelain. H. 4 1/16". (Courtesy, © Copyright British Museum.) Both the base of the pot and the inside of the cover are marked with “A” in underglaze blue; the pot is enameled with molded shoulder decoration. The form of this teapot, together with its lion finial, suggest derivation from an unglazed stoneware or a salt-glazed prototype, possibly from Staffordshire or even South London. |
