Object Type
DescriptionRed-bodied Chinese stoneware began to arrive in Europe by at least the 1660s. European potters quickly began to imitate it. The body of the ware was fine-grained, nonporous, and did not require a glaze to be serviceable. Such wares surged in popularity again at the middle of the 1700s, often with applied-molded or “sprigged” decoration, as on this teapot, or with engine turning.
Provenance[David Stockwell (1907–1996), Wilmington, Delaware]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, September 18, 1967; given to MFAH, 1967.
