Philip Christian Liverpool Soft-paste Teapot with Chinoiserie Panels, Ca. 1775.

18th century
Description

A molded and enamelled teapot in soft-paste porcelain, produced in Liverpool circa 1775 and attributed to the Philip Christian factory. The body is formed with relief panels, alternating chinoiserie figures and floral motifs, enriched with hand-painted enamels and gilt accents. The domed cover features molded ribs and a pierced vent. Christian operated the Liverpool works from 1765 to 1778, having taken over William Reid’s factory. His wares, often influenced by Worcester, display a distinctive glaze and modeling style associated with regional production. Examples are held in museum collections, notably the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (C.52\&A-1932). Highly sought after by collectors of early English porcelain. The authenticity of the piece, its craftsmanship, and the excellent preservation of decorative elements are clearly evident.

Dimensions: height 18.5 cm, width 20.5 cm, depth 12.5 cm, weight 733 grams.

Condition: lid restored and retouched; circular crack along base (barely visible); small chip inside spout. Light glaze pitting typical of Liverpool porcelain.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance. It is important to note that shipping costs include labour, packaging and postage.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the mid-to-late 18th century by manufacturers such as Philip Christian, Liverpool soft-paste porcelain is recognised by its warm translucent body, moulded reliefs, and hand-painted polychrome decoration often featuring Chinoiserie themes.

Soft-paste porcelain was created by combining white clay with frit or bone ash, then firing at a lower temperature than hard-paste porcelain. This method produced a translucent ceramic with a soft glaze that absorbed overglaze enamel colours effectively.

Authentic examples exhibit subtle pooling in the glaze, minor foot rim wear, hand-painted variations, and a characteristic greenish or yellowish translucency when held near a bright light source.

An antique soft-paste teapot can be styled as a decorative accent on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, where its hand-painted details contrast with modern architectural surfaces.

Clean soft-paste porcelain using lukewarm water and a mild liquid detergent applied gently with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, immersion in hot water, and automated dishwashers to protect the enamels and glaze.
