Maker: Wedgwood Pattern: Peony
As teapots go this must be one of the most unusual and certainly prettiest we have seen. It was designed by Lord Dundonald and produced by Wedgwood from 1905. A horizontal perforated ledge separates the dry tea from the hot water. The pot is tilted backward to rest on two short legs at the back and on the curved handle, allowing the hot water to pass through the perforations on to the tea leaves. This separation of the used tea leaves from the prepared tea prevented it from becoming 'stewed'.
Backstamp Peoney Trade Mark Wedgwood and impressed marks are Trade Mark SYP Chiswick London. SYP stands for Simple yet Perfect!
There is a small chip to the spout and a couple of very minor glazing blemishes but overall in excellent condition.
Dimensions: 14.5 cm high to top of handle 0.45 ltr / 5.75 ins high to top of handle 0.75 pint
