In Donald Webster's publication "The Brantford Pottery" he notes that "[t]this teapot, unmarked, confroms completely to excavated shards" found at the site of the pottery. In my experience, these teapots are notorious for poor condition. The spout is almost always busted and the lid often damaged or missing entirely. This example has a professional repair to the end of the spout but is otherwise excellent. The lid has a tiny flake off the base edge. The beaver finial is perfect. You will wait a long time to find one better.The Raphael Yu Collection19th and early 20th Century CeramicsCanadian Ceramics in the 1800sCeramics for the Canadian Market[]North AmericanCanadian1855419538CanadianNone
