Antique Copelands China Teapot in a Willow Style Pattern dated 1891
Beautiful fluted, oval teapot from English company Copelands
Gilt around the base and end of the spout, on the handle, the rim of the teapot opening, the rim of the lid, and as a lovely finishing touch, as part of the finial flower design
The teapot is blue and white in the style of the willow pattern but with Copelands' own take on it
Rib-walled oval translucent bone china with a delicate floral button lid handle
The thing that's really interesting is the marking on the teapot that reveal it's age. This teapot is engraved with F91 meaning it was made in February 1891
It is in very good antique condition considering, with just a light discolouration around the inner handle.
Incredibly rare fine early example in collectors condition.
