New Hall Porcelain Prow Shaped Teapot, Antique English Early 19th C

Porcelain : Antique : New Hall

 

This beautiful early 19th C New Hall prow shaped porcelain tea pot is decorated with hand painted gilding and 4 different unframed scenic bat prints. It is about 11" long and 5-3/4" high. It dates c. 1805.

It is marked on the base with the pattern number 462, and what appears to be the painted " f " mark which is Godden's mark 4403 for New Hall.

It is in excellent condition. The only wear to the gilding is at the end of the spout, and mid-handle. There is a small "in the making" firing crack where the handle was attached to the upper rim. Please see the close-up photo. There are no other chips, cracks, crazing or repairs.

For other examples of this teapot, please see "New Hall Porcelains" by Geoffrey A. Godden. Page 330, plates 314 and 315; page 336, plate 321; and page 337, plate 322.

In the book, "A Directory of British Teapots", by Michael Berthoud & Richard Maskell, see page 131. They call this teapot shape "The Oval Shape with Rising Cape". Their plate 781 again shows the maker to be New Hall, Shelton, c.1805.
