| Figure 71 Cameo Rose teapot, Hall China, East Liverpool, Ohio, ca. 1960. Whiteware. H. 5 1/2". As with most dinner services, for which the most elaborate piece is usually the soup tureen, in a tea service the teapot generally dominates the table. Thorley’s E-shape teapot, seen here in the Cameo Rose pattern, is no exception. With its large coiling handle this is the most elegant of all the teapots made by Hall in the middle of the last century, and the pattern was sold exclusively through Jewel Tea Company from 1951 into the 1970s. |
