Tall coffee pot in pearlware, House & Fence decoration. C1790
About the Item
A fine and large - enormous - coffee or chocolate pot in pearlware, with “House & Fence” decoration, in imitation of a Chinese original.
It is thought that these oversixed pots were intended as decoration, or to be put in the window of coffee-houses as a form af advertisement. Certainly, it show no signs of being used - the condition is excellent.
In late 18th-century England, coffee drinking was becoming increasingly popular, particularly in urban areas like London. Coffeehouses, which had started to emerge in the 17th century, became important social and intellectual hubs where people from various backgrounds could gather to discuss politics, literature, science, and business.
Coffeehouses were often referred to as "penny universities" because for the price of a penny, one could buy a cup of coffee and engage in stimulating conversations. These establishments attracted writers, artists, merchants, politicians, and intellectuals, fostering an environment of intellectual exchange and debate.
The atmosphere of coffeehouses was conducive to the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of information. They often had bulletin boards where newspapers, pamphlets, and advertisements were posted, allowing patrons to stay informed about current events and public debates.

English Pearlware Coffee Pot, Blue Transferware, Fallow Deer in Snow, 1800-1820
Located in London, GB
This is a superb coffee pot made in England between 1800 and 1825. The pot is made of pearlware and has a very charming blue transfer printed pattern of fallow deer in a snowy landscape with farm buildings.
This transfer print looks like an early 19thC print; as we couldn't identify the maker it was impossible to date it exactly. A charming detail is that the rim of the cover and the footrim, which are printed with a row of houses, both are printed up side down; this was probably done by children, who often did the smaller transfer prints because their little fingers could handle the thin strips of paper better than adults.
The coffeepot is unmarked. There is an old shop label on the underside stating it is "English, probably Spode" - however, although this pot is certainly English, it is certainly not Spode.
CONDITION REPORT The coffee pot is in good antique and usable condition without any damage to the pot or the spout; there are just some chips off the lower rim of the cover, which are not visible when in position and are inconsequential for using the pot. As is normal for antique pearlware...
