Teapot, creamware, globular shape with reeded spout, strap handle and pierced ball knop on lid, decorated with a bright iron red and crimson house and green trees, not marked, probably made in Leeds, West Yorkshire, c1775
Old label reads; Teapot: the simple loop handle, globular shape and knop (missing) with a central steam vent were abandoned by Wedgwood c.1770; the fluted spout with a fluted base is only found on creamware made at Leeds and the pale colour confirms a late date (c.1775-1785) when the white Devon and Dorset clays had become available to his competitors. The pale yellow glaze has been ground off round the base. The landscape decoration is in the late style of Jasper Robinson, c.1775-1779.
