Teapot c. 1790

This teapot, created by the Wedgwood Manufactory around 1790, showcases the artistry of the famed British pottery company. The piece, crafted in a delicate lilac glaze, features a central bas-relief panel depicting a classical scene of figures in white on a lavender background. The teapot's lid and spout are adorned with intricate floral patterns and the body is encircled by a border of alternating blue and green squares, adding visual dynamism. This example of Wedgwood's jasperware, with its neoclassical motifs and elegant design, demonstrates the enduring influence of the Greek revival on decorative arts during the late 18th century.
