White felspathic stoneware, smear glazed on the outside, and painted in blue enamel. There are three flat panels on each side of the body, separated by a thin arched line. The side panels each contain a stylised flower enclosed in a diamond . On one side the central panel shows six peasants wearing caps, gathered around a barrel; one is seated with a book, another plays bag-pipes. On the other side are four semi-clothed figures, with horse and tree. Around the lower part of the body is a strip of arches, each containing an upward pointing leaf. The shoulder is decorated with a stylised garland and a leaf strip runs along the handle. The cover has a radiating impression surrounding a flower shaped finial and a single vent hole. A narrow blue line marks the edges of the panels, handle and spout and an oval shape beneath the finial and there are blue touches on the finial flower. The interior is lightly glazed, with a domed strainer at base of the spout. The underside is slightly recessed, giving a narrow foot-rim.C.1277 & A-19281accession numberC.1277 & A-192871714priref71714191719171917old object number4125urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/71714https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/71714underside of baserectangular paper label handwritten in black inkNo 4125.

These two teapots may thus come from the same maker; they also have similarly modelled finials of a design which could perhaps link them to Chetham & Woolley. However, variations between different factories were often slight and popular sprig moulds were sometimes copied. The other scene perhaps depicts Silenus, the Greek god of the dance of the wine-press, who followed Dionysus on the back of an ass.‘Castleford-type’ teawares are named for The Castleford Pottery in Yorkshire, run by David Dunderdale & Co. from 1790 to 1821, which was renowned for its white felspathic stoneware. However, other factories such as Sowter & Co of Mexborough, South Yorkshire and Chetham & Woolley of Longton, Staffordshire made similar products and there are many unmarked examples. Examples are typically plain white or white with edges lined in blue or another colour, or black basalt. The smear-glazing makes the most of the crisply-moulded ornament, whilst the stoneware would be durable in an everyday setting. The teapots are moulded in two parts, with applied handle and sprig decoration, and may have a drop-in, sliding or hinged cover. There are four examples in the Fitzwilliam Collection, of which two have sliding lids and two have added blue lining.referenceterm-107437adlib-term-10743796f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479George IIIreferenceterm-110418adlib-term-11041805d711c6-8b77-3dc8-801e-fbc4d8c52049Longtonwhite felspathicreferenceterm-42825adlib-term-42825858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39dstonewareHeightcm145Lengthcm260referencemedia-35460adlib-media-35460f9f9e05e-0c72-39d6-8a4e-52fb3a0833adjpegaa/aa11/C_1277_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162861095191imagejpegaa/aa11/mid_C_1277_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162861095191imagejpegaa/aa11/C_1277_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162861095191imagejpegaa/aa11/preview_C_1277_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162861095191image0media
