Manufacture de Locré, mark in blue underglaze Hard porcelain teapot Base enhanced with gold and painted frieze Dimensions: H. 16, 5; L. total 18 (cm.) Paris, circa 1810 Rare teapot of flared shape, the handle zoomorphic; just like the spout. This shaped piece is entirely decorated with a frieze of flowers of which we find a similar execution on a vase illustrated in "Three centuries of porcelain in Paris" by Michel Blois (see last photo). The Manufacture de Locré under the Empire Laurent Russinger, who ran the factory until the end of the 18th century, joined forces with the Limoges kaolin merchant François Pouyat in view of the financial difficulties he encountered. Pouyat worked to expand the company's activities until 1810, then sold it to his three sons who continued to run it successfully until the Restoration. Pouyat and Russinger specialized in good quality everyday items, mainly tableware and ornamental pieces but also biscuit groups. Condition report: good condition of the gold base with some wear, discreet restoration to the grip of the lid
