It measures\u00a03.5 inches high and 6 inches wide from handle to spout. The underside has\u00a0the impressed mark &#8220;WEDGWOOD, Z, 1x&#8221;, and &#8220;B257&#8221; is hand painted in gold on the underside of the teapot and its lid.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly for some but happily for me, over 200 years ago this small teapot slipped from the hands of someone who must have cherished\u00a0it and the spout broke off. It was taken to a jeweler or tinker who replaced\u00a0it\u00a0with a silver spout on\u00a0a scalloped plate. I have many examples of spouts with the same design, so I assume they were made in bulk by jewelers to have on hand, ready to be popped on to similarly damaged teapots. The lid&#8217;s knob broke off at a later date but was not replaced. I am hoping one day to make my own replacement knob of the same design, perhaps in silver to match the spout.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=12138\"
