DESCRIPTION

An English soft-paste porcelain tea bowl made in Liverpool during the Georgian period, circa 1760-1780. Painted in underglaze cobalt blue, the bowl is decorated with a Chinoiserie lake landscape incorporating a building, bridge, trees, rocks and stylized vegetation. A blue diaper-pattern border runs beneath the rim, complementing the finely painted landscape decoration. The handleless form is characteristic of tea bowls used in England during the 18th century and reflects the strong influence of imported Chinese porcelain on Liverpool ceramic production.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

Liverpool was an important center of English porcelain manufacture during the second half of the 18th century, with several factories producing blue and white wares inspired by Chinese export porcelain. Chinoiserie landscapes with buildings, trees and waterside scenes were particularly popular decorative subjects during this period.
