My naughty twitching finger is at it again, but this time it's gone POTTY, in fact TEA-POTTY. Spotted this lovely Doulton Lambeth teapot on line but couldn't stop my finger twitching and pressing a button.
It dates from about 1890 - 1920 and was designed and made by a well-known pottery artist Eliza Simmance (1873-1928). It is quite a large teapot being 9 1/2" from handle to tip of the spout. We don't use teapots very often today, which is a shame. Must put those boxing gloves on next time I'm looking at auctions on my laptop.
Can’t say I blame you Heather……it looks a substantial teapot. I thought it was a bit if that Polish Pottery at first but I can see a tad more expensive than that!
