Coffee Pot c. 1760

This blue and white porcelain coffee pot, created by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company around 1760, showcases the intricate floral designs and delicate molding techniques that were popular in the 18th century. The piece is characterized by its raised molded decoration, typically referred to as "raised" or "relief," which is painted in underglaze blue. The pot is currently held at The Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to the company's enduring legacy in the world of ceramics. This decorative piece, a fine example of English porcelain, reflects the growing popularity of coffee and the artistic trends of the era.
