It stands\u00a04-1\/2&#8243; tall\u00a0and is 7-1\/4&#8243; wide from handle to spout and has a faint puce mark on the underside, dating it to around 1790.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0not uncommon for teapots to lose their original lids over the years and I suppose that&#8217;s what happened to this pretty pot. In this case,\u00a0a tinsmith fashioned\u00a0a well fitting replacement lid in the style of the original. The raw metal was painted to match the original white body and gilt decoration was added. The resulting inventive repair is well done, hard to detect and allows the teapot to be used once again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7935-Version-21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9768\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7935-Version-21.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7935 - Version 2\" width=\"400\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7935-Version-21.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7935-Version-21-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7936.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9769\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7936.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7936\" width=\"400\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7936.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7936-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7938.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9770\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7938.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7938\" width=\"400\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7938.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7938-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7939.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9771\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7939.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7939\" width=\"400\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7939.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7939-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7942.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9772\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7942.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7942\" width=\"400\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7942.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7942-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7946.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9774\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7946.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7946\" width=\"400\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7946.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7946-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7945.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9773\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7945.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7945\" width=\"400\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7945.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7945-300x258.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This striking oval porcelain teapot was made by Derby in England at\u00a0the end of the 18th century and is decorated with neo-classic silhouette figures in black and gold as well as elaborately painted gilt decoration on\u00a0the handle and spout.
