A Pair of George II Giltwood Mirrors After a Design by Thomas Johnson, Circa 1765together with four Chinese blue and white porcelain pots from the Vung Tau Cargo.Height 51 3/8 x width 33 3/8 inches.This lot is located in Chicago.Provenance:Hotspur Ltd., London, 21 January 1994 (with invoice)Note:The published designs of the Soho carver Thomas Johnson (1714-1778) were a seminal influence in disseminating the Rococo taste in England. Both Twelve Girandoles from 1750 and A New Book of Ornament in 1758 depict naturalistic, almost fanciful designs that often featured Chinamen and animals inspired by Aesop" Fables. Even the renowned cabinet-maker Thomas Chippendale paid homage to Johnson" creative genius as he credits him with several Rococo designs in the Third Edition of the Director. These mirrors closely correspond to the center design of a mirror illustrated on page 65 of One Hundred and Fifty New Designs published in 1761 (reproduced here). Although no specific documented commissions by Johnson have been found, he is known to have supplied mirrors in the early 1760s to Paul Methuen of Corsham Court, Wiltshire and the Duke of Atholl at Blair Castle, Perthshire.One mirror with part of an old label reading "LORD F."

The present teapot and the other example in this sale (lot 104) are two of the earliest examples made, the form produced between 1818 and 1846 as a stand-alone teapot. Later examples featured more elaborate decoration such as that of 1827 now in the collection at Sevres-Cite de la ceramique (MNS 24.784).Three of the five easily located extant examples were at one time in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Krehbiel. The third, an agate blue-ground pot painted and gilt in the style of Chinese cloisonne enamel, purchased from Dragesco-Cramoisan in October 2006, was a gift to the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010.Fragonard was paid 30 francs for his design. His watercolor of it, retained in the factory" archives (2011.3.900, reproduced here), is almost identical to the present pot, with decoration of a coral red fretwork frieze enriched in gilt on a powdered lavender ground.The salesroom entry records for 26 December 1818 include the first eight examples of the theiere chinoise Fragonard. The Sevres factory held its annual selling exhibition at the Palais du Louvre 29 December 1818-8 January 1819. In total, seventeen examples are recorded between 1818 and 1821, each priced at 36 francs. These were almost certainly a solid ground color with a fretwork frieze similar to the two examples in the present sale. The present example, with its incised kiln date of October 1819 is obviously from this group. Two with a blue ground enriched in gilt and priced at 55 francs may be similar to an example of 1819-1820 sold at auction at Drouot by Audap & Associes, Paris, 10 December 2020, lot 134. Between 1827 and 1846, eight further examples of the form are recorded with richer decoration. The teapot now at the Art Institute dated 1832-1835 (2010.583a-b) may be from this group. The factory markings on this teapot present a conundrum, in that the gilder" mark appears to predate the kiln date. The incised kiln date 19-10 is written in a typical 18th century hand, the loop of the 9 not closing completely. It is the inscribed gilding date of 1818 that must be incorrect. M…. may be for Jean-Louis Moyer (active 1818-1848), recorded at Sevres as a gilder who used a wide capital M as his mark. Looking at the dates involved, the present teapot with its patently incorrect gilding year will have been one of his first pieces, so perhaps one can excuse the error.Photo Credit: © RMN-Grand Palais / Art Resource, NYIn good condition with negligible wear to the angles of both pot and cover. Having a tiny chip to the gilt foot rim to the left of the spout and a miniscule chip to the edge of a finial petal which ha been retouched.
