Teapot, creamware, inverted pear shape, spout formed by a projection to the lid which partly covers the jug-type pouring lip when in place, painted in yellow and grey enamel colours to a stylised floral design, impressed patent number, printed factory mark and painted decorator's mark on base, made by Copeland, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, c1944-1948
the teapot comes from a tea set in the Hampshire County Museums Service collection consisting of pieces made by a number of different manufacturers but decorated in a uniform style, perhaps in response to war-time or post-war restrictions by an amateur decorator with access to ceramic colours and a kiln
