About the Item

Ok, what can you say about this teapot? It's a sexy, sassy little thing and is a rare find. We cannot find another example of this teapot anywhere--nor have we ever seen another in over 30 years of buying and selling. From the 1930s, the hand-painted design epitomizes the jazz age with its jaunty angles and celebratory color. Not sure if the pot is water tight, so we see at more as a display piece--or may we even say a piece of art? Because of the nature of the soft clay it's made of, there were a few nicks and chips from use over the years. But we felt this teapot is so special, we had it professionally repaired so it could once again be its show-stopping, sassy self.
