Lot 530: Four Novelty Glazed Earthenware Teapots
Four novelty glazed earthenware teapots, comprising four distinct domestic and shop-themed designs modelled in whimsical forms. The collection includes a teapot fashioned as a brown wood-grained kitchen dresser with panelled doors, featuring a lid surmounted by a stack of white saucers and a black mug. A second piece is modelled as a grocery shop counter with blue and white accents, decorated with miniature ceramic grocery items including a jar bearing a blue painted inscription reading BEEF. The third teapot represents a vintage radio or electronic device, incorporating an inset functional quartz clock with a dial reading Quartz. The final teapot depicts a kitchen maid in a blue polka-dot dress standing behind a white trolley, which carries a kettle finished in a metallic silver-toned lustre. The pieces are constructed from slip-cast earthenware with hand-painted polychrome decoration. No manufacturer marks are legible on the bodies or lids.
