Teapot c. 1760

This teapot, produced by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company circa 1760, exemplifies the "Chinese taste" that was popular in 18th-century Europe. The porcelain's white ground and the hand-painted decoration of Chinese figures engaged in various activities, like playing a game with a circular disc, reflects the fascination with East Asian aesthetics during this period. This piece, now held by the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the Worcester factory and the enduring influence of Chinoiserie in European decorative arts.
