Black glazed pottery “one cup” (aka “Bachelor’s”) teapot from England with scroll relief decoration, stands 3-1/2″ high and was made in the early 1800s.
A simple tin replacement handle was most likely made by a traveling tinsmith in the 1800s.
The intact handle on an identical teapot to mine shows what the original handle looked like.
