ANTIQUE
STAFFORDSHIRE PORCELAIN OCTAGONAL SWAN FINIAL TEAPOT WITH PATTERN NO. 38 -
MILES MASON, KEELING (FACTORY X), NEW HALL C.1795-1805
"A
rare antique Staffordshire porcelain octagonal teapot with distinctive
swan
finial lid. It dates from circa 1795 to 1805 and has a glassy hard
paste porcelain body. The curious fence and blue rocks pattern is
reminiscent of delftware and is found on pieces by several contemporary
porcelain manufacturers. Here the maker has given this pattern an early
- number 38.
Attribution is difficult but Miles Mason, A.E. Keeling (Factory X) and
New Hall are all possibilities. A wonderful rare piece for the expert
collector that looks stunning on display and is worthy of further
research." Antiques Expert Hamilton
