    I'm wondering what the type of handle on this mini lustreware teapot might be called.
    Thanks for looking!

    Love the pot. Maybe 'two-finger handle'?

    This eBay link no longer produces this particular pot:

    but it's described as 'Vintage Japan Luster Teapot / 2 finger handle / Mid Century Modern Lusterware'

    The design looks to me to be inspired by Memphis Group, a design movement started in Milan, Italy.

    Bennington Pottery calls them a Trigger handle.

    (not saying your piece is by Bennington)

    Thanks for the reply!

    I just did an image search for both "Trigger handle" and "Two finger handle"
    and came up with many images of pots , mugs and cups under "Two finger
    handle" but none for "Trigger handle". I guess that "Two finger handle"
    is the more commononly used term.

    This pot is by National Silver Co. Along with silver and silver plate, they produced
    china and stoneware. Some of the labels on their china and stoneware
    say "Made for National Silver Co" while others say "National Silver Co".
    The company was established in New York, N.Y, in 1904.
    This pot is stamped Lustre R8361 Japan, with a label saying "National Silver
    Company Nagoya Japan".
