Coffee pot c. 1780 - 1790

This miniature tea set, made in the late 18th century by Caughley (Salopian) Works, showcases the popular Chinoiserie style of the time. The pieces are decorated with intricate blue and white designs depicting landscapes and figures inspired by Chinese art. This set, with its delicate size and elegant designs, is a charming example of English ceramics and the fascination with Asian aesthetics that was prevalent in the 18th century. The set is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
