Featured Small black carved Tea pot Wedgwood style..XIXth Cent ????

Hi to all of you...Hope you all keeping well..!!!!!
Just needing your help for my last Trouvaille..!! This tea Pot found in a bricabrac..Which was very dirty...Thought that I would find the inscription Wedgwood under it....But nothing,no marks...
So,despite it does look old or even ancient...I have now ,no idea of what type of Ceramic it is belong to..??
Dims are: 11cm Diam and 6cm base...No crack..No repair...Am lost a little...Would have like to read Wedgwood under...So Mystery..??? Hopefully somebody of you will have a good idea. Thanking you in advance.JJB

 

Is this Chinese? Yixing?

 

Not a clue...???? Thanks to you...Thought it was british....Will check Yixing....

 

Others might know.

 

Hopefully Thanks..!!!

 

I don't think this is Yixing ware. Here is a link to the Yixing section of Gotheborg can see what it looks like. https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/yixing.shtml

There is also something odd about that piece sticking up out of the base.

 

Yes,I agree...Quite Bizare piece..!!! Hope somebody will know...

 

I dunno. Looks like another handle over the top has broken off at some point? The decoration looks somewhat Indian to me or maybe Indonesian! I'm guessing, but "southeast Asian" somewhere, LOL!

 

There must be a word or a name for that cone shaped tube coming up from the center of the teapot.

I know I've seen one before, most probably somewhere on this board, but heck if I can remember if it was ever solved.

 

Thanks..Might be useful to investigate..??

 

That odd insert thing isn't Brit.

 

not so much an insert as a hole in the base allowing heat to Tavel up thru it.....

interesting

 

Interesting little teapot. Reminds me of the kashmiri samovar teapot, but they are usually cast metal. This one looks more like an earthenware chinese yixing teapot. Perhaps a Chinese export made for the Indian market?

 

Interesting what you just said...In fact the texture material of this Tea Pot seems actually made of an heavy texture reminding me of iron stone ceramic...Used long time ago in Indonesia for Burmese Martaban jars....I think this small tea pot is as you preconised...Chinese Indonesian for the Indian/British market...So would think XIXth Century..??? What do you think..???? Thanks pls to respond if you can..

 

First, an antique teapot must show any tear and were but i cant see here as samovar teapot, so i dont know.
if its antique the size of the teapot, although not straightforward, may give you a clue. For instance, teapots made in the 18th century had a smaller shape because tea was expensive at that time. Therefore, only small amounts were brewed, which explains why the teapots had smaller sizes. if this teapot was produced for britisch market it could be 18th to 19th century.

I found also this info on the net this might be helpfull To identify antique teapot by shape.
Teapots until the 1700s had a rounded shape. After the 1700s, teapots began to take the pear shape. By the 1800s, teapots took straight sides. After that, they went back to the round shape, but this time they were fatter than those made before the 1700s. Another way of dating teapots is to look at features. Antique teapots made in early 1700 didn’t feature glazing under the lid and the inside of the teapot rim.

 

Very very interesting...Big Merci to learn...

 

Again...Just remeasured it...Very small...10.5 cm diam including thickness of ceramic...XIX th For sure....Would love somebody somewhere got the same or equivalent with exact provenance....Again... Thanks for your time and investigation...jjb

The link mentions the Penn State Tea Institute. Maybe you can contact them.

 

It's like a cadogan, but if you filled it from the bottom, the water would keep on going. The top just doesn't look right.

 

And the clay and exterior design looks nothing like Yixing to me. (And not Wedgwood either. )
