Adams Black Basalt Neoclassical Widow Teapot, Circa 1790
By William Adams (Potter)
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A scarce black Basalt engine-turned teapot, attributed to William Adams I (1746-1805) Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England, circa 1790.
William Adams I was an accomplished potter whose best known products included stonewares, jasper and basalt of the highest quality.
This teapot is beautifully modeled in the Neoclassical style with a parapet lip, and a lid finial representing the Sibyl, a seated female figure often referred to as the widow.
The basket like pattern on the body and lid was achieved by the use of an engine-turning lathe, first introduced to the Staffordshire pottery industry by Josiah Wedgwood in 1763.
Acanthus leaf detailing to handle and spout.
