An exquisite small Worcester globular teapot and cover. Hand painted in underglazed blue with the Cannonball pattern. A very early and beautiful example of this popular pattern. Marked with a workman's mark to the base. The teapots cover is possibly a married one as the fitting is somewhat loose although the proportions and finial are exactly right and period correct. Remarkably this lovely Worcester teapot has suffered no damage at all and has had no restoration. The scenes are crisp and clear with no blurring. Measures just 13cms high.
