This impressive Jackfield-type Victorian teapot has a slender oval shape with a faceted belly. It is hand-painted with fruiting ivy, a symbol of fidelity. The pot is of slender oval shape with a flat bottom. Broad facets on the belly curve outwards towards a lobed and splayed base. The basic shape is ultimately derived from 18th Century silverware. The shoulder is formed of a chain of moulded protruding leaves, with gilt highlights. The deep, shiny, lustrous black glaze is known as ‘Jackfield’ after the town of Jackfield in Shropshire where it was produced. However, many potters in neighbouring Staffordshire also made ‘Jackfield-type’ ware during the 18th and 19th centuries. The main decorative motif on the teapot is hand-painted fruiting ivy. Evergreen ivy symbolised fidelity and eternity. CONDITION Very good. No damage or repairs. A few of the orange enamel berries have flaked off over time (see photographs). A few pin-prick spots of gilt rubbing on band around the lid rest. Height: 14.8 cm (5.8 inches); Width, spout across handle: 24.6 cm (9.7 inches) Net weight: 995g Domestic . International .
