The location was ideal as fine white clay was available in the vicinity, and the River Brenta allowed wood to be brought in easily to fire the kilns and the finished products to be transported to Venice for sale.  After Giovanni's death in 1737, production of earthenware (maiolica) continued under the management of the Antonibon family.\r\n\r\nExperiments in porcelain production finally resulted in success when pieces were presented to the Venetian Senate for approval in 1762.  This teapot is therefore early in terms of the factory's porcelain production.  Its design shows the continuing use of rococo curving forms, but here they are allied to painted scenes with classical ruins, revealing the growing interest in this type of subject matter.","physicalDescription":"Hard-paste porcelain teapot and cover of panel-moulded, undulating shape, painted in puce and green enamels with idealised classical landscapes.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Le Nove porcelain factory","id":"A20292"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"hard paste porcelain","id":"AAT10663"}],"techniques":[{"text":"moulded","id":"x30076"},{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Hard-paste porcelain, press-moulded and painted with enamels","categories":[{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"},{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[{"text":"Rococo","id":"AAT21155"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2009CC7252","2017JU1938"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"139","id":"THES49874"},"free":"","case":"24","shelf":"7","box":""},{"current":{"text":"139","id":"THES49874"},"free":"","case":"24","shelf":"7","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Teapot","id":""}],[{"text":"Cover","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Nove","id":"x41044"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1765","earliest":"1760-01-01","latest":"1769-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Purchased with the assistance of the Lane Memorial Fund","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'Nove'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"relief-moulded on base"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Porcelain cover for a teapot, painted in colours, Italy (Le Nove), ca.1765\n\nPorcelain teapot, painted in colours, Italy (Le Nove), ca.1765","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"<u><i>La ceramica degli Antonibon</u></i>Milan: Electa1990.
