About the Item
Staffordshire pearlware teapot and cover with inlaid agate surface,
Attributed to the Ralph Wood Family,
circa 1780
The squat oval pearlware pottery teapot has a recumbent Spaniel as the finial. The teapot body with a rare inlaid agate surface. The spout with moulded leaves and the handle is reeded and with a large moulded leaf to the top and bottom.
While the teapot is not marked, Jonathan Richard (see below) mentions that a marked example is known with the impressed mark R A Wood, Burslem. Rickard mentions that this surface was possibly what was referred to as " Terra Tersia" in an auction notice in 1794 of the contents of Ralph Wedgwood's London warehouse. It was also referred to as tessellated, granite, mosaic, and other terms depending on the maker.

Provenance: Sotheby's New York, Property from the Collection of the Late Sister Parish, September 29, 1995, Lot 40.
Reference: "Mocha and Related dipped wares, 1770-1939", Jonathan Rickard, page 30, Fig 41, for a very similar teapot with spaniel dog finial but without moulded spout.

- Staffordshire Georgian Two Pearlware Religious Printed Childs Plates with VerseBy StaffordshireLocated in Bishop's Stortford, HertfordshireTwo fine English Georgian, probably Staffordshire, child’s pearlware plates decorated with religious scenes and verse dating from the early 19th century. The finely potted plates are of octagonal shape both with relief molded fruit and floral designs to the rim, one hand painted and other simply glazed rim but with a pink lustre edge. Due to the edge patterning being the same we believe the plates to have originated from the same pottery. Both plates have printed religious scenes to the center with printed prayers, possibly as teaching aids for children. One has a scene of Christ rising from the dead with a prayer reading ‘Behold him rising from the grave. Behold him raised on high. He pleads his merit there to save Transgressor doom’d to die.’ The scene shows soldiers, some sleeping around the entrance to the tomb. The second plate shows a child reading...Category
