Teapot and Cover

1803 (made)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

The New Hall factory was set up in order to exploit the patent for making hard-paste porcelain which the partners had purchased. In this they succeeded well, by making tough but elegant tea wares. After about 1800, however, the increasing popularity of the new bone-china formula began to undermine the advantages that they had enjoyed.
