Maker: Woods  Pattern: Yuan

A rare shape of teapot made by Wood & Sons to a patented design registered by Abram Allware Ltd and decorated with Woods traditional Yuan pattern. Abram obtained patents for their teapots in 1922-25 and the Cosy name was also a registered trade mark. Apart from the shape of the pot, the novel features appear to be the fixing of the lid on the pot and the design of the gate, which is integral to the lid.
The printed backstamp is mainly taken up with the registration and patent details, including the three British patent numbers 188503, 214073 and 229495. The only part visible of the typical Woods backstamp is the pattern name Yuan.

Dimensions: 1.5 ltr 20 cm high 14 cm max diameter / 2.5 pt 8 ins high 5.5 ins max diameter
