Gillers Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
We have found no comparable model in museum or reference collections, which supports the exceptional rarity of this example.
Technical details: height 19.5 cm, width spout to handle 25 cm, body diameter 12.7 cm, weight 772 g. Porcelain body with fine enamel decoration and gilding. Decoration remains fresh and vibrant, the enamel surface in remarkable preservation.
Condition: very good for its age. Minor enamel chip to spout tip (invisible to naked eye), small firing crack at upper handle, some wear to gilding on lid rim and finial, slight kiln-sand line inside near the top rim. Otherwise excellent, with no structural damage; the pot remains watertight and could still function.
Historical note: New Hall was established in 1782 and was the first English factory to produce hard-paste porcelain successfully. Their finest work from the 1780s–1790s is admired for its balance, quality of painting and innovation.
Investment: this teapot represents a rare survival of English porcelain from the late Georgian period in near-original condition. Collectors of English ceramics will recognise its rarity. This is both a distinguished acquisition and a long-term investment piece.
