Maker: Burgess and Leigh  Pattern: Chinese Peacock

A fabulous shape of pot, for which the design was registered in 1886 and appears in a Burleigh catalogue in 1893 as shape 2079 and was still in production in 1918. It is not a typical shape decorated in Chinese Peacock, as teapots are generally Cranbourne or Globe shape. The pattern was introduced as Chinese Peacock in 1913, then much later renamed as Blue Bird and now in production as Regal Peacock.
Backstamp: blue printed B & L Burleigh Ware Burslem England and impressed pad Rd 48812 for the shape registered 1886.
There is a little minor wear to the pot mainly to the inner rim, bottom tip of spout and handle otherwise excellent condition. Overall almost as new.

Dimensions: 0.9 ltr, overall height 13.5 cm / 1.5 pint, overall height 5.25 ins
