Hm. I'm wondering if the ladybird is an import mark. Can you get a better close up? I suspect most of these were made in places like Indonesia...
I think given it's Wedgwood, bone china.
You're very welcome. Those pots make decent tea.
The money depends on the deal with the landowner. Typically, it's a 50/50 split. As davey says, tax free.
English, 1910s or slightly earlier. The clay is typical of Brown Betty teapots. Transfer ware decorated with some hand done detail. The marks are...
I'd say bone china not porcelain then.
I tend to think of that pink as being French.
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. Can you see through the base if you hold it to the light?
How translucent is it?
Yup, a modern Chinese pseudo mark. Often seen as "Victoria Ironstone".
You'd be amazed how often they show up entire.
I'd take that lining out, then ultrasound it. That would get a great deal of muck off it. 1920s or 30s.
That back looks right for late 19th into early 20th.
I think it's spot on for Georgian. Pink was a wildly fashionable colour then and ebony was used as an accent in room decors.
That's dead right and it's English. Might be slightly earlier than I thought, 1860s.
I'd say Bimini. A friend collects these.
Nice job. I'd have kept the original escutcheons and put good old wooden or brass handles though.
I do indeed mean UK. Which actually makes sense: we exported a great deal to your neck of the woods, and emigrants took treasured items.
See, I reckon it looks better t'other way up.
I love thread drift.
