Maker: Spode  Pattern: Tower

There were several styles of teapot made in Tower pattern, but none as big as the Merry Meal, which holds 6 pints and it certainly does as we have tested it! It was listed in Spode's 1920 catalogue at £1.32, which is approximately $2.50. Factory records show that not many were made and few have survived.
It measures 13.25 ins from handle to spout, 9.5 ins at maximum diameter and 7.5 ins overall height. The photograph does not convey the enormity of the piece.
Condition is as good as you could hope. There is a little crazing to the glaze, a firing stress crack on the inside of the front handle, a tiny nick to the rim of the lid and some rubbing to the spout. Blue printed oval mark Copeland, Spodes Tower, England and impressed Copeland Imperial mark.
