Early 20th Century Minton Blue and White “Blue Willow” Porcelain Cachepot

About the Item

Offered is an exquisite and extremely rare, large early 20th century minton cachepot, circa 1910s-1920s. This stunning European pottery is truly a masterpiece and very difficult to acquire, especially in this large size (8in H x 9.75in W). The deep blues and vibrant white compliment the allover traditional, Chinoiserie motif of pagodas and other ornate scenery. Minton was the original creator of “Blue Willow”, which is now a widely known pattern, but is commonly copied and interpreted for decades by other pottery and ceramic makers worldwide. Marked with Minton’s seal on underside, see photos. Heavy, weighing nearly 6lbs. The piece is in excellent condition for its age and use — no cracking or chipping. Minor crackling beneath the glazing, but nothing that affects the pleasing aesthetic or structural stability of this piece.
