    You rang? Peggy is spot on - it is mold 576 and the decoration is Reflecting Water Lilies. It's a popular decoration. Does the lid fit snugly? I ask because the lid may be correct. The color seems to follow onto the lid. It is not the usual lid for this teapot but it is an RS Prussia lid and I was able to find that lid on a syrup pitcher in mold 631 with the same Reflecting Water Lilies decoration. (see RS Prussia Popular Lines by Gaston, pg. 537 on pg. 249 to see the syrup.) I also found two Mold 576 teapots and a sugar bowl in one of my books but they all have the tops as shown in the Worthpoint example. (see RS Prussia: The Art Nouveau Years by Leland & Carol Marple, pg. 74, plates 319, 320 and 321). Someone may have married the two but I think it's at least remotely possible that RS Prussia used more than one lid for mold 576. They would save money where they could. It would require more research I'm afraid. Anyway, that's how I would describe it if selling.

    I've bought RS Prussia teapots with spout chips myself if they are cheap enough. I always think I'll have them repaired but I never do. Somehow I forget they are there after awhile. It will be a tough resell though.
