A Coalport (John Rose) teapot, cover and stand

Circa 1799-1808.
Painted by William Billingsley at Mansfield or Torksey, painted in sepia monochrome with oval panels reserved on a white ground, the teapot with a country house in a park, a cottage by a river to the reverse, the stand with a ruinous castle, within sepia and gold scrolling borders, 18cm high (slight wear to the stand only) (3)

Footnotes

Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Porcelains 1790-1820, Welsh Ceramics in Context, Part I, p 151, pl 8.7. The fine quality sepia landscapes on this lot bear strong similarities to the Dr Boot service, and with the fine Paris part tea and coffee service sold in these rooms on 9 March 2005, lots 242 and 243. This was painted with views of Park Hall, near Mansfield Woodhouse, and was probably ordered from Billingsley at nearby Belvedere St by the Hall family, owners of the house.
