Buyer's Premium: 20%

A group of novelty glazed earthenware teapots, comprising four distinct figural designs characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century collectible giftware. The first teapot is modelled as a dog wearing a black beret, finished in cream and light brown tones. The second is a cottage-form teapot styled as a two-storey timber-framed building, featuring hand-painted teddy bear illustrations in the windows and the text BEAR INN printed in black across the facade. The third figural piece depicts a market woman in a bonnet and apron carrying a basket of fruit, including grapes and strawberries. The final item is formed as a weathered tree trunk with green leaf accents, featuring two white animal figures, one perched on the lid and another peering from a hollow in the stump. Each piece features a removable lid integrated into the figural design. The bases were not inspected for marks, but the items exhibit the hand-painted decoration and whimsical forms typical of decorative character teapots from this period.
