Gilded Teapot 2
Our Inspiration: Teapot (part of a service)
Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory (British, 1745–1784; Gold Anchor Period, 1759–69)
Soft-paste porcelain with enamel decoration and gilding, ca. 1758–69
Gift of Mrs. Francis P. Garvan, in memory of Francis P. Garvan, 1954 54.163
The gilding on these pieces is of a very high order, with tooled work on a thick application of honey gilding selectively matte and burnished for a lively design of pheasants, peacocks, and swallows in a landscape.
