Tea pot c. 1780 - 1790

This miniature tea set, created by Caughley (Salopian) Works, is a fine example of 18th-century English porcelain, known for its delicate blue and white decoration. The set, consisting of a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, cup, and saucer, showcases the popular Chinoiserie style, imitating Chinese designs and motifs. These were common in European ceramics of the time, reflecting a fascination with Eastern aesthetics and trade. The set’s small size suggests it was likely intended for display or as a miniature toy, highlighting the decorative and playful aspects of 18th-century porcelain.
