Lot 558: A collection of seven novelty ceramic village shop and cottage teapots
A collection of seven earthenware novelty teapots, each modelled as a traditional English village building. The group includes three shopfront designs: a Baker shop with a brown-tiled roof and signage reading BAKER; a Fish & Chips shop with a red-tiled roof, pink facade, and signage reading FRESH FISH DAILY and FISH & CHIPS; and a Greengrocer shop with a red-tiled roof, produce stalls, and signage reading GREENGROCER, FRESH VEG, APPLES, and POTATOES. The collection also contains four residential buildings: a cottage with a thatched-style roof, a red-tiled cottage with white walls, a brown-tiled cottage featuring a prominent chimney stack handle, and a white-walled house with brown timber-style detailing. Each piece features a removable roof-form lid and integrated spouts designed as chimneys or architectural elements. The teapots are decorated with moulded relief and hand-painted details. No manufacturer marks, country-of-origin stamps, or signatures are visible on the exteriors or bases in the provided images.
