Early 19th Century Wedgwood Egyptian Revival Rosso Antico Teapot
About the Item
A rosso antico teapot made by Wedgwood ca. 1810. The pot's red body is accentuated by black basalt details in the Egyptian Revival style.
This rosso antico teapot is a fine example of the Egyptian Revival style, popularized in Europe during Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign. It features sphinxes, owls, and canopic jars among other hieroglyphical motifs modeled in black basalt against a rosso antico background. Rosso antico, literally meaning ‘antique red,’ was developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1760s. It paid homage to the traditional red clay wares produced in Staffordshire during the 17th and 18th century as well as the even more ancient pottery being excavated from Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although rosso antico wares initially exhibited Classical designs, the factory was quick to encompass the Egyptian style in the early 19th century. The teapot is topped with a charming black basalt crocodile finial for a final touch of Egyptomania.

- Early 19th Century Spode Red Greek Pattern TileBy Josiah Spode, SpodeLocated in Fort Lauderdale, FLA Neoclassical red transferware tile made by Spode 1806-1810, with the ‘Zeus in His Chariot’ pattern. Sir William Hamilton’s Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman antiquities, first published in 1766 by Pierre d’Hancarville, was a landmark publication in English design. It intended to disseminate the Antique style through its engravings of Attic pottery. The catalog’s faithful reproductions of Classical vases led British potteries, including Spode, to adapt or even copy the ancient art for modern life. These Spode Greek pattern tiles reflect the major influence of Hamilton’s catalog on English Neoclassicism. The central scene was taken directly from the catalog. This tile can be dated to a narrow window of production in the Spode factory, 1806-1810. During that time, Spode used a technique known as the “Pluck and Dust” method to print in red transfer designs onto creamware. Using this method, source prints were transferred overglaze using tissue imprinted with a very faint rendition of the design outlined in sticky oil. The decorator applied the tissue to the object then carefully “plucked” or pulled it away, leaving the sticky oil design behind. Then, a finely-ground enamel color was “dusted” onto the surface, sticking to any areas that had the oil. A final firing at a low temperature in the enamel kiln made the pattern permanent. The Pluck and Dust technique improved upon bat-printing and enabled larger designers to be transferred. It was short-lived, however, as under-glaze transfer printing soon took over as the preferred method for producing transferwares. Dimensions: 5 in. x 5 in. x 1/4 in. Condition: Excellent.

Jasperware is perhaps the quintessential Wedgwood clay body and is even considered by some to be a ceramic development on par with porcelain. Originally developed in the 1770s as dyed stoneware bodies (the most ubiquitous of which is pale blue) with applied white figurative decoration in imitation of cameos from the Ancient World, jasperware quickly expanded to a plethora of colorways as per Wedgwood innovation standards. This jardiniere, with lilac and sage decoration on white jasperware ground, is part of Wedgwood’s tricolor jasperware...Category
