This Wedgwood drabware stoneware teapot, dating to around 1830, is a beautifully refined example of the company's mastery of neoclassical design and technical innovation. The drab stoneware, with its muted, earthy tone, provides a striking contrast to the crisp blue relief decoration, which features a floral motif. The teapot is clearly marked “WEDGWOOD” along with the number "58", a typical factory mark that helps to date the piece.
During the early 19th century, Wedgwood’s stoneware teapots were highly valued for their durability and elegant design, blending both form and function. This particular example would have been a prized piece on a Regency or early Victorian tea table, embodying the refined taste of the era. Today, it remains a sought-after collector’s item, appreciated for its craftsmanship, historical significance, and timeless beauty.
