This extremely rare brown stoneware teapot was designed and produced by David Wilson the Elder (d. 1817) of the Church Works pottery, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, England, about 1810. Wilson was a contemporary and highly creative friendly competitor of Josiah Wedgwood II (1769-1843).
The body is sprigged in white jasperware with a wreath of realistic garden flowers, including roses, carnations, daisies, and forget-me-nots. The lid is ringed with alternating palmettes and anthemions. The handle is adorned with a palmette subtending a raceme of what resembles graduated flower buds.
The oval-shaped teapot measures 9-1/2” long from spout to handle. The main body is 6-1/2” long by 5” wide and 5” tall, including the 3/4” high finial. The foot is 4-1/4” x 3”. The bottom is impressed “WILSON” and “1”.The interior of the body is coated with a vitreous glaze. The spout is chipped and there is some small, inconspicuous damage to the underside rim of the lid. Otherwise, the condition is excellent, with no cracks, scratches, or repairs. The elaborate sprigging is entirely intact.
