Victorian Elegance: 1891 Wedgwood Cobalt Jasperware Teapot
Capture a piece of ceramic history with this exquisite Wedgwood Cobalt Blue "Dipped" Jasperware Teapot. Stamped with the year cipher for 1891, this piece represents the pinnacle of late-Victorian craftsmanship, transitioning from the classical era into the refined aesthetics of the turn of the century.
Recovered from a storied Cape Cod estate, this teapot carries the charm of a New England heirloom. It features the iconic deep cobalt blue slip—a technique known as "dipping"—perfectly contrasted by crisp, white bas-relief neoclassical figures circling the body.
Key Features & Details
Authentic Pedigree: Clearly marked with the Wedgwood impressed stamp and the date letter for 1891.
Petite Scale: A "tiny" teapot designed for an intimate setting, perfectly sized to hold two cups of tea.
Exquisite Detail: Features ornate neoclassical "Sacrifice" and "Dancing Hours" motifs, a signature of the Jasperware line.
Estate Provenance: Sourced from a private collection on Cape Cod, adding a layer of coastal history to its story.
