Lot 507: A Collection of Five Vintage Annie Rowe Western House Gifts Glazed Earthenware Novelty Teapots
A collection of five vintage glazed earthenware novelty figural teapots designed by Annie Rowe for Western House Gifts, from the Village Teapot Collectables series. The group includes various architectural and interior designs, each finished with a polychrome glaze. The Village Tea Shop is modelled as a two-story half-timbered building with a bay window and brickwork-patterned handle and spout. The Bakers Shop features a similar two-story half-timbered facade with a dark brown-tiled roof. The Tea Shop is a single-story cream-coloured building with a prominent bay window. The rustic cottage design has a high-pitched red-tiled roof and a textured twig-effect handle. The fifth teapot is modelled as an open shelving unit or kitchen counter, featuring a cat figure and miniature blue and white vessels with a wicker basket lid. The base of the Village Tea Shop bears a printed brown transfer mark with a four-diamond logo above Western House Gifts, The Village Teapot Collectables, and identifying the item as a handpainted fine ceramic teapot designed by Annie Rowe, including her printed signature and a small illustration of tea service items.
Large-scale ceramic items; exact dimensions are not provided.
