Description.
An uncommon late 18thc pearlware "Prodigal Son" teapot, printed with the "Prodigal Son takes his leave" and the "Prodigal Son Receives His Patrimony", the prints being after original paintings by Samuel le Clerc II (1676-1763) and a series of mezzotints by Richard Purcell. This particular print was produced by the famous William Greatbatch, who then supplied it to third-party manufacturers. This piece was probably produced by one of those third-party manufacturers.

Condition.
The cover has been broken and re-glued

Dimensions.
20cm in length.

We do not offer combined postage as the figure we charge reflect the time taken to pack and source packaging material which is incredibly time-consuming. Ultimately, it is the combined price which reflects the true cost.

See our other items. If you like what you see, we do have other items that are not necessarily listed and which may be of interest.

We use recycled packaging. It helps our environmental footprint, but does not necessarily look very pretty!

If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.

When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.

We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's  unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.

We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. An example of such a defect would be crazing-but we do not regard fine crazing as being a defect. If crazing is a particular issue for you, please let us know and we will then report as to whether there is any.

Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
