Made by James Hadley, the preeminent modeler at the Royal Worcester Porcelain Factory, this teapot references the Aesthetic Movement that was fashionable in the late 19th century. The teapot partly capitalized on the success of W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivanís operetta Patience, a satire of the Aesthetic Movement that was first performed in 1881, the year the vessel was produced. Patience prominently featured a poet called Bunthorne, a caricature of writer and aesthete Oscar Wilde. Like Wilde, disciples of the Aesthetic Movement had specific ideas about the most beautiful flowers (sunflowers and calla lilies) and colors (purple), and they subscribed to the notion that by surrounding oneself with beautiful objects one would become beautiful.On the base of the teapot appear the words Fearful Consequences Through the Laws of Natural Selection & Evolution of Living up to Oneís Teapotóan allusion to something Oscar Wilde said while he was a student at Oxford Univwood necklace with bunny wood brown art fashion necklace on jewelry boxes with bunny Copyright: xZoonar.com/FelixxFurox 6208696Garden gnome, hunter smoking a pipeVintage Doll toy, Raggedy Andy, circa 1920sStill life of Christmas toy soldier.Toby Puppet; painted wood, cotton, other materialsCheerful snowman on  light backgroundSmall child figurine Ceramic figurine of a small girl in a pose Copyright: xZoonar.com/YannxPoirierx 12344287Lustiger Schneemann Studio Copyright: xZoonar.com/Teamarbeitx 144535a sweet easter bunny figure with an egg A sweet easter bunny figure with an egg Copyright: xZoonar.com/magannx 13309748Wooden anatomy models of man, india, asia Copyright: xAnilxDave/DinodiaxPhotoxGold and white Santa Claus figurine wearing scarf, Christmas decorationSanta claus on his sledge without reindeer Old Wooden Nutcracker On White Old handmade nutcracker on an isolated studio background Copyright: xZoonar.com/AndreyxSkatx 10031084Mint green Christmas nutcracker decoration on blue backgroundmonkey with a gift The photo shows a monkey with a gift Copyright: xZoonar.com/AlekseyxKorneevx 8469765Beige plastic toy as a mummy isolated on white backgroundRussian Dolls.
