A Worcester porcelain globular teapot painted with scenes of Chinese figures, mother and child, one side with a young boy with a bird on his shoulder pointing at the woman seated at a table and the other with a woman holding a flowering branch and the child with a fishing rod type toy. The two boys are replicated on the cover and gilt, black and red enamel decoration in between the two scenes. c.1770.

Condition: there has been some professional restoration to the spout, two small areas on the edge of the cover, and the knop. The spout I think has just been repaired and touched in and there is a small frit to the very tip. Minor surface wear.
