For instance, teapots made in the 18th century had a smaller shape because tea was expensive at that time. Therefore, only small amounts were brewed, which explains why the teapots had smaller sizes. if this teapot was produced for britisch market it could be 18th to 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found also this info on the net this might be helpfull To identify antique teapot by shape.</p><p>Teapots until the 1700s had a rounded shape. After the 1700s, teapots began to take the pear shape. By the 1800s, teapots took straight sides. After that, they went back to the round shape, but this time they were fatter than those made before the 1700s. Another way of dating teapots is to look at features. Antique teapots made in early 1700 didn’t feature glazing under the lid and the inside of the teapot rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
