Teapot with Lid

c. 1780-1790

Made by the Derby porcelain factory, Derby, England (c. 1750–1848)

This teapot is part of an ornate tea service, which belonged to Sarah Logan of Philadelphia and was handed down through the Logan and Cadwalader families. The service was augmented in the early nineteenth century with Chinese-made dessert plates decorated with the same pattern of the earlier, English wares.
