About the Item

Folk Blossom: Prattware Pearlware Teapot Object: Teapot and Cover Origin: Staffordshire, England Date: Circa 1810-1820 Medium: Pearlware Earthenware with High-Fired Enamel Colors Dimensions: 7 inches high x 9 1/4 inches wide x 5 5/8 inches diameter. This charming pearlware teapot exemplifies the vibrant, folk aesthetic of Prattware, a type of English earthenware characterized by its bold use of high-fired enamel colors. Dating to the Regency period, this piece features a traditional globular form decorated with a striking pattern of orange flowers—likely a stylized representation of lilies or similar cottage garden blooms . The decoration is executed in the distinctive Prattware palette, which often includes rich oranges, greens, and blues applied in a fluid, non-naturalistic style. The teapot's glaze is likely pearlware, identifiable by its slightly bluish tint, a feature common in earthenware designed to mimic expensive Chinese porcelain after the turn of the 19th century. The overall design has a folky freshness, reflecting the movement away from rigid classicism towards more spirited, everyday decorative objects. Historical Context: Prattware and Domesticity Prattware, manufactured primarily in Staffordshire by factories like those of the Pratt family, was popular for its bright colors, accessibility, and durability. These pots served a crucial role in the social ritual of tea drinking, which was firmly established in British domestic life by the early 19th century. Pieces like this were not reserved for the formal drawing room but were used regularly, bringing a burst of color and cheer to the kitchen or less formal parlors. The simple but effective floral motifs and the sturdy nature of the pearlware body meant this teapot was built for daily use and enjoyment. (Ref: NY7369-mrrx)
