Blue & White China Patterns: Detailed Patterns

Video Transcript

"Just to show you some of the detail that you can find in some of these patterns looking at this teapot you can see if I take off the cover you can see when I pick up the pattern. How detail it is you have a woman leaning up against the trees here with a waterfall and in the background you have cows that are in the pasture here and more trees in the background. There's a large estate here with tress flowing all around and in another pattern that starts up here on the border with flowers and like a horn of plenty with leave patterns in it. Again you see another border with more flowers and more patterns so you can see the detail that's added in here with more detail here and on the spout you can see the flowerer pattern that runs up the spout. Usually you would see some detail on the handle of the teapot too, so this is a really intricate pattern, very detailed and very deep blue but you can also see how crisp the pattern is. You can see the event actually it almost step into there and see that there's a person sitting out there on a nice afternoon watching the cows grazing on the field. These are great pieces that show wonderful events that were happening in the 1830s so this is one example showing on the teapot and we'll show you some other examples here. Here is one with a bird pecking at the seeds on the end of the flower you can see the detail of the stems with a very distinct pattern in the background which is just like a dot pattern. But it sets off the background so that you can see the detail on the birds feathers and the flowers the peddles and in the back of the handle you can also see little flower patterns here. So they didn't leave anything on this pattern empty the whole bowl the spout here has patterns and boarders all the way across the top with leaves and detail on the flowers. So this something you'll see in the historical blue the detail is tremendous for the period so this is a nice example of a pitcher a milk pitcher with a bird and flower pattern."
