Mrs. Potts and Chip
Capodimonte Porcelain Company (Italian, 1743–present), “Teapot,” 20th Century, Porcelain.
Gift of Arthur I. Appleton.
"I used several different pieces from the Appleton’s collection in my design of Mrs. Potts. The floral pattern and gold filigree came from a bowl. Her collar and the shape of her spout are from a teapot with swimming swans and just a touch of light pink. I used this hue as the overall inspiration for her main teapot color and for her son Chip, who is a teacup." (Eryn Brooks Brewer)
