422) To whom it may concern, Recently I came in possession of a strange "tea pot". I put that inquotations because it may not be that. It is a fairly large brown betty style made out of the same material as crockery with rough edge at the top and the inside of the lid and bottome (unglazed) What is strange about it is that both the handle, which is a straight tampered affair, and the spout point in the same direction, so that you pour it toward yourself. The lid
is flat with a small open handle in the middle. It is not a very refined finish, with no attempt to eliminate imperfections. The colour is standard
dark brown crockery. When I bought it it had a wire "cage" around it, but it did not appear to be cracked around it. The bottom, however, was ready
to fall out, and it did when I pushed it from the inside. I have repaired it as well as possible, and it will make a great conversation piece if nothing else. Do you know any thing about such a pot? I was intrigued by the weird assortment of pots you offer!

419) I'm looking for an Avon teapot made in Brazil. Odd shape with 2 "handles". Have you ever run across anything like that?

418) My mother left me a teapot that I believe belonged to my Grandmother and would like to find out more about it. The teapot is five inches tall and about 8 inches in length from handle to spout. It has a black glaze with intricant gold work in either Chinese or Indian design. The lower edges of the trim work looks like the tail of peacock when spread out and is dotted in different color inside the eye. Much like the eye that appears in the peacock feather itself. The dotting is unknown to me as to what texture it would be. Using blue, white and coral coloring. The colors seem to be as a matte look. Between the peacock feathering appearance is a design that I wouldn't know how to describe; it almost appears as a face but at first glance,
one might see a butterfly. The markings on the bottom of the teapot appear in this order........ 03777 (Written in blue) V (Written in blue)
LEONA" ( The rest of this marking is all in gold.) The crown is unique in the fact that the top part of the crown is not round but two squares, one on each side of what appears to be a old english cross. The sunburst markings around the crown. GIBSON & SONS, Ltd. Burslem England The initials below this is capitalized on the first and last letter with the middle letter being raised halfway up to match the first and last letter. RaN-
There is a gold "T" much like you would see done in the Chinese writings. Embossed in the background and just above the LEONA reads,GIBSONS
MADE IN ENGLAND I would assume that this teapot is the 377th made of it's kind. I would be most interested in knowing when it was made originally.

417) The teapot is dark brown with hand painted yellow flowers with a red center, with stems/leaves in a rust like color. The teapot is round (like a cylinder shape) with lid. The name Arthur Wood is stamped on the bottom with the numbers 35, 5555 in gold print. With no other stamp.
I would appreciate any information you would have or where to look.

416) I have a teapot set that seems to be antique but I know nothing about it. I have had it now for about 15 years. My sister gave it to me which was purchased by her ex husband at a auction for 100.00 and that was about 20 years ago. I can describe it and HOPEFULLY you can tell me when it was made, where and how much in today's market would it be worth. I have the Tea Set and 4-6 cups and saucers. All in great shape. Ok it is trimmed in was I assume is 14k gold, someone told me that awhile back. Each piece has a gold crown stamped on the bottom. It has a man and woman on the tea set and cups, they seem to be around the 1800 area and they look to be dancing or something, the scene behind them seems to be a garden or something. There is 14k marking also on the tea set, I am not sure how to explain what it looks like, maybe the best way is to say like snow flakes. I know nothing of this set and have been trying to find SOMETHING out for a long time. I hope you can help. Thanks--Also the color of the tea set seems to be like a pearl color or iridescent color.

341) I have what appears to be an old teapot that has made in japan marked on the bottom of the cups (that look like small water glasses) the matching teapot has no marking on the bottom of it. It is old white, lightly yellowed, the glaze looks crackled and the design looks sort of like a boat with the top of the "boat" having a triangle on each end with a blue dot in the triangles, the body of the "boat" has a sideways diamond with a blue dot in it and a blue dot on each side of that. Sitting on top of the "boat" looks to me like an easter egg decorated with what looks like a stop sign with three blue dots on it also. This teapot also has a bamboo handle. The lid has two diamonds with blue dots and opposite them are two blue dots alone.
Does anyone have any information about this teapot? Thanks

240) My wife's mother gave her a tea pot which had belonged to her grandmother. There are several markings on the bottom of the tea pot which I shall attempt to describe.The tea pot is yellow in color with a black spout and handle. It is designed with flowers in a circle on each side of the pot and also on the cover. The knob on the cover is also black.There is a circular stamp on the bottom which has a crown on the top of it and inside the circle are four squares with the letters "L", "D", "B", and "C". Around the circle are the words " Royal Bavaria. Underneath the circle it says "made in Germany". There is another stamp on the bottom and it is designed to appear to have soem type of vine or leaf design in a circle with a crown on the top and inside the design are the letters "P" and "M". Stamped underneath that is the word "Bavaria" Also stamped in yellow on the bottom of the pot appears to be the numeral "10".The pot is in excellent condition with no cracks, glazing or chips. What can you tell me about it?

239) I thought this set was a teapot and tea box, but looking through different antique information sites, I am wondering if it is in fact an oil lamp and match box set. I believe my mother-in-law at one time did say the the one contianer was a match box. The box is round with a screw off lid. On top of the lid is a triple circle with I,M, V imprinted around the circle. The trademark on the bottom of both is a crown with GvG under the crown. On the left side of the crown there is a letter I, above the crown the letter M and on the right side of the crown the letter V. Allother markings are worn off.
Can you help identify? I think its possibly of English or German origin.

238) I recently purchased a used teapot that is shaped like a teapot but painted black and white in the likeness of a cow. It has a little mental
bell hanging from the neck that also serves as the spout. It has the cute head of a cow with it's eyes closed attached to the spout. On the bottem of
this teapot in a circle formation it says M.Kamenstein Inc. Taiwan then it has the letters MCMXCII. It is just the cutest thing that I have ever seen.
It is a real creation let me tell you. I have looked all over the web but can't seem to find a picture of it or what it's retail value was. Can you or
anybody out there help me? I think the head is made frome porcelain if that helps.

224) Hello, Back in 1970, while living in Germany, I received a beautiful teapot set covered in "real" gold. On the bottom of the cups is hand stroked in Gold "boner" or "bonar" and under this bavaria, all enclosed with what looks like a larger size stroked "B". On the bottom, underneath the white finish of the cup is the number "831". An older generation German gentleman indicated the gold alone was worth $500. Looking for someone who may have experience in determing its value. All of the cups and saucers are not there, yet I was told the teapot represented the real value of a set. I have attached a picture of the teapot yet it does not do it justice and I'm in the process of taking new ones. Much appreciate any light shed on this. Thank You!:)
