English Inlaid Agate Teapot and Cover with Lion Finial
About the Item
Staffordshire Pearlware Inlaid Agate Teapot and Cover with Lion Finial,
Attributed to the Ralph Wood Family,
Circa 1780
The squat oval pearlware pottery teapot has a recumbent lion as the finial. The lion sits on a circular reeded base atop the inlaid agate ground. The teapot body with a rare inlaid agate surface. The plain spout in two sections and the handle plain too with molded acanthus leaf to top and bottom.
While the teapot is not marked, Jonathan Richard (see below) mentions that a marked example is known with the impressed mark R A Wood, Burslem. Rickard mentions that this surface was possibly what was referred to as " Terra Tersia" in an auction notice in 1794 of the contents of Ralph Wedgwood's London warehouse. It was also referred to as tessellated, granite, mosaic, and other terms depending on the maker.
Dimensions: 3 7/8 inches high x 8 inches wide x 4 1/2 inches deep.
Reference: "Mocha and Related dipped wares, 1770-1939", Jonathan Rickard, page 30, Fig 41, for a very similar teapot with spaniel dog finial but without moulded spout.
Also see "An English Pottery Heritage, Part Two, The Troy Dawson Chappell Collection of Earthenware & Stoneware 1630-1800", Page 837, # 375, a coffee pot with similar decoration.
