It was made in Staffordshire or Leeds, England, in the late 1700s and is hand painted with spritely polychrome floral decoration on both sides. It measures 5 inches high and is marked with\u00a0what appears to be A+A in red on the underside of the pot and lid.<\/p>\n<p>But of course the reason\u00a0it ended up in my collection is\u00a0the three inventive\u00a0repairs, which include\u00a0a slightly exaggerated bronze handle covered in rattan, a\u00a0brass\u00a0collar concealing\u00a0a chipped spout, and a\u00a0cracked lid repaired with brown paper tape. I believe each repair was done years apart so one can only assume that the previous\u00a0owners of this teapot were a clumsy lot.<\/p>\n<p><a
