- Lot Description
of tapering ogee-shape, with entwined strap handles and undulating spout, the flat cover with foliate knop issuing a stem, and teapot stand, of fluted hexagonal form, both with gilt dentil rims and painted with colorful bouquets of flowers under gilt strapwork decorated with iron-red designs. The teapot and stand both with A. Trapnell Collection labels. Unmarked. Circa 1775. 5 1/2" HOA, the teapot; the stand 1 1/16'' HOA, 6 1/4" W.
Literature: Amor - Bristol and Plymouth Porcelain with Examples of Bristol Glass and Pottery Forming the Collection Made by Mr. Alfred Trapnell, London, 1912, plate XXXVIII, items 273, 431, 435, 452 and 455. These are identical to the decoration and style of this teapot, although the teapot itself is not illustrated. Presumably, the teapot was sold separately McNair/Beggs/Coutts - Catalogue of the Lady Ludlow Collection of English Porcelain at the Bowes Museum, London, 2007, p. 66, no. 43, illustrates the Ludlow teapot, with its identical profile, but that service has a teapot stand of square form. The decoration is identical to the Ludlow service, as shown, number 216, but for the color differences within the gilt strapwork and the presence of a coat-of-arms.
Provenance: Property of a California private collector.Catalogue Note: As per the above citations, the gilt strapwork and enamel decoration is identical to that of the Ludlow service, items of which are now on display at the Gardener Museum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but for the presence of the coat-of-arms and the green cell-and-diaper panels within the gold strapwork.
The chocolate pot of the exact decoration as this teapot is described by Amor as, "very beautifully decorated with bouquets of flowers and richly ornamented with gold; so profuse a decoration is unusual on Bristol porcelain." [No. 438, page 52]Condition
Excellent condition, but for tiny chip to knop, tiny original nicks to inner flange, and minor gilding wear.

The buyer is responsible for all associated shipping costs.
To expedite shipping, we recommend payment by Visa® or MasterCard®, cashier's/certified check or money order.
Standard shipping charges include our packing fee and the cost of shipping with insurance (based on current UPS or USPS fees). A handling fee may be charged for packages that must be taken to the Post Office. Alternate shipping options
Our account with UPS provides for a daily pick up, therefore no handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS.
Special requests for alternate methods of shipping are acceptable, but may result in an additional cost to you.
We offer professional packing and shipping services. All packing is done in-house.We pack for shipping only upon request and we work in order of request.Once a package is ready to ship it is weighed, measured and processed through the USPS and/or UPS system in order to determine cost of shipping including insurance and additional services (e.g. delivery confirmation) as applicable.Shipping charges include a fee for packing time and materials. Our time is billed at $15.00 per hour and we use recycled materials whenever possible at no cost to the buyer. If purchased supplies (e.g. boxes) are used, that cost is passed on to the buyer as part of the packing fee.(Our $15.00/hour fee is prorated, therefore if a packing job requires 30 minutes and no purchased supplies, the total packing fee would be $7.50.)The actual cost of shipping/insurance and packing/materials cannot be determined until packing is completed. Once known, the shipping charges are applied to the buyer’s invoice and he/she is notified of the cost by email (or by phone if we have no email).We may pack/ship for 150-250 people after each auction.
