Bidspirit auction | A trio of English Imari
A trio of English Imari pattern ceramic tea wares, likely produced in the Staffordshire potteries. The set comprises a teapot with its original lid, a matching hexagonal teapot stand, and a small cream jug. Each piece is constructed from glazed earthenware in a distinctive faceted hexagonal form. The decoration consists of a traditional Imari palette featuring underglaze cobalt blue, iron-red enamel, and extensive gilded highlights. The base of the teapot features an impressed ENGLAND mark in an arc above the character K, a mark often associated with Lingard Webster and Co. The teapot stand base displays a printed MADE IN ENGLAND mark in blue alongside hand-painted decorator markings.
