This listing is for a beautiful
antique teapot with matching creamer and sugar in the Italian pattern
by Copeland
Spode. These are an unusual style and feature parts of the lyrics of
Auld Lang Syne by Scottish poet Robert Burns.
The form of these was taken from Chinese pottery originals which
explains the mythical beasts as finials. This is an antique set that
dates to the early 1900's.
The creamer is in perfect condition. The teapot has a small chip on the
inside opening (can't be seen when lid is in place) and the sugar bowl
has a small chip on the underside of the lid edge that was stuck back
and also a small piece on the inside opening that was restuck (see
close-up pictures for all these flaws). The handle of the teapot has an
area where the glaze didn't quite cover the surface so there is a
difference in the color blue (manufacturing flaw). Still despite these
flaws this is a magnificent set that displays beautifully.
The teapot measures 9-3/8" long
(handle to spout) and 5" high (to top of finial). The creamer measures
4-3/4" long (handle to spout), 2-5/8" wide and 3-1/4" high. The sugar
bowl measures 5-1/2" across (handle to handle) and 4" high (to top of
finial).
Please excuse any glares (white
patches) that you may see in the pictures, these are caused by
reflections of light on the glaze and are not on the actual object
itself.
