Description

One "Castleford" type, oval-shaped teapot with hinged lid. Heavily decorated with blue painted lines surrounding floral medallions and the finial on the lid. Blue lines also outline the handle and the tip of the spout. The body of the teapot, divided by moldings outlined in blue, depicts floral elements and molded scenes. One scene is of two putti. One is playing the horn and the other is holding something aloft. Another scene is of two figures (putti) where one seems to be painting a portrait of the other.
