Teapot (part of a service) 1745 - 1760

This porcelain teapot, part of a tea service, was produced by the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory in Italy between 1745 and 1760. The teapot is decorated with a yellow ground and painted with a scene of playful cherubs in a landscape. The piece is adorned with gold trim, and the handle and spout are sculpted in a naturalistic style. The Doccia Manufactory, founded in 1737, was known for its high-quality porcelain and its use of a wide range of decorative motifs. This teapot is a fine example of the craftsmanship and artistry of this Italian porcelain factory.
