Coffee Pot c. 1755

This porcelain coffee pot, crafted by the Bow Porcelain Factory in England around 1755, is a stunning example of the Rococo style. The delicate floral designs and pastel palette of the hand-painted decoration were popular during this period and reflect the desire for elegance and refinement in the 18th century. The graceful form of the pot, with its bulbous body and domed lid, is further enhanced by the exquisite details of the painted flowers, vines, and leaves. This piece, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistry and technical skill of the Bow Porcelain Factory, a pioneering force in English ceramic production.
