‡&nbspA STAFFORDSHIRE WHITE SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE 'LANDSKIP' TEAPOT AND COVER CIRCA 1755-1765, PROBABLY WHIELDON OR WEDGWOOD With recumbent lamb finial, foliate and beaded spout and foliage scroll handle, moulded with a puce and turquoise house, yellow sheep, brown cows and green trees on shaped panels of diaper and bands of beading 11.5cm high  Provenance: A.C.J. Wall CollectionSee the example formerly in the Garbisch collection at 'Pokety Farms', Cambridge Maryland, sold Sotheby Parke-Bernet Inc., 22nd-23rd May 1980, lot 28 where acquired by Herbert and Sylvia Jacobs, sold to Robert J. Kahn, Villanova, PA in their eponymous sale at Christie's, New York, 24 January 1994, lot 50 and subsequently sold in his estate sale at Christie's, New York, 29 January 2002, lot 465 C.f. A 'Landskip' teapot, circa 1765 probably by Josiah Wedgwood, W.B. Goodwin, collection no. 65., Christie's, English pottery and Chinese Export Art, 28th January 2003, lot 319Note: The attribution of these so-called 'Landskip' teapot has been extensively debated. See Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, Vol. I, fig. 153 for an example with identical handles and spout; also see fig. 150 for a closely related block mould now at the Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston. Based on an invoice 11 January 1764 from William Greatbatch to Josiah Wedgwood which lists payment for a 'Landskip Tpt, Saus Bt., Cream Bt. & Sugr. Box' and on the rediscovery of related blocks at the Wedgwood factory in Etruria, the origin of the block design was tentatively ascribed to William Greatbatch. To date, there is no archeological evidence to support that Greatbatch made landscape-molded wares. Shards in this pattern have been found at several sites in Staffordshire, suggesting that Wedgwood was not the only potter making wares in this type.
