Delightful rural scene with two men fishing and a church in the background decorates both sides of this teapot and is set within an ornate floral and swag border. A rare example of a good sized early teapot.
Backstamp: 5 impressed twice.
The teapot itself is in pretty good order. There is a large double chip on the underside of the spout and a tiny nick on the edge of the spout, three-quarters of the way up. The glaze on one side was a bit thin and this has greened or yellowed over the years. The lid has numerous small chips and nibbles under the rim and a small rub or chip on the top rim. The knop has been off and restuck reasonably neatly. Despite everything, with the lid in place and the teapot
displayed with its better side showing, the whole thing looks near perfect.
