Description: A Small Caneware Teapot With A Wheat-Sheaf Finial. Wedgwood, C. 1800 Description A rare and exquisite unglazed caneware teapot of depressed oval shape with basket weave decoration and a wheat sheaf finial. Wedgwood caneware is a type of pottery first produced by the Wedgwood Company in the late 18th century. It was called "caneware" because its colour and texture resembled the natural colour and texture of the unglazed earthenware used for centuries to make storage jars and other utilitarian objects. Caneware was made by mixing clay with bone ash, which gave the pottery a pale, creamy colour. The pottery was then fired at high temperatures to create a hard, durable material that resisted chipping and cracking. Caneware was often decorated with simple, elegant designs, such as embossed lines or moulded borders, and was sometimes glazed to give it a shiny finish. One of the most remarkable features of Wedgwood caneware is its versatility. It was used to make a wide range of items including tea and coffee services, dinnerware, serving dishes and decorative items. Tea Pot with overall basket weave moulded decoration and a sheaf of wheat finial, with acanthus leaf decoration under the spout and handle. Impressed mark for Wedgwood to the bottom. Measurements approximately. Height including the lid 9cm (3.1/2”). Spout to handle 18cm (7”) Please look carefully and inspect all my photographs carefully as they form part of the description. Condition There is a fault and a hairline coming down from the top rim of the tea pot measuring approximately 5cm (2”). Priced accordingly.
