A bamboo molded handle, raised decorative floral panels, bands which imitate fretwork at the neck and lid, exotic bud form knop, and general profile all combine in this tea kettle to create Royal Worcester’s perception of Japanism in 1874. Framed panels on two sides of the body feature simple raised floral and leaf studies. Additional un-framed floral sprays and a series of round Japanese crests or mons are placed artistically across the balance of the body. Worcester enhances these exotic elements with a color palette ranging from a warm bronze to pale green and pink sprinkled with sporadic dustings of gold against a pale ivory body.
