Lot Essay

Red stoneware teapots and pattipans were produced in Delft at the end of the 17th Century. They were inspired by Chinese teapots from Yixing which were imported into the Netherlands by the VOC. The demand for these teapots increased as the popularity of tea grew. Several manufacturers are known and most pieces have a mark in relief, made with a seal. The best-known potters of these pots are Ary Jansz de Milde and Jacobus de Caluwe. Very similar Yixing-type teapots were produced in Meissen in Boettger stoneware in the early 18th Century.
