Lot 662
Five 19th century teapots, comprising New Hall style floral painted, two chinoiserie bullet shaped and transfer printed. Largest length 28 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The smaller of the two bullet shaped teapots is in generally good condition. There is no evidence of any repairs or restoration. The lid is in good order. The spout has one very small glaze nibble. The top lip has one small glaze chip. Other than this there are no issues. The second bullet shaped teapot has glaze imperfections to the lid and three edge chips and nibbles to the circumference. There is a hairline crack running from the top lip of the base down into the pot just below the rim. The base also has had a break and there is a riveted repair which should be visible on our image. The grey, white and gilt pot has had restoration to the spout. There is also a star crack to the base visible both inside and out. The pattern is a little faded in places. The teapot with the castellated top has had restoration to the lid. There is also some restoration to the castellation opposite the handle. The interior is discoloured. Old hairline cracks are just visible to the body. There are minor nibbles to the glazing around the spout and to the foot rim. The final teapot has some minor nibbles to the under edge of the lid. The interior shows several old hairline cracks. These are visible also to the underside where there is a significant star crack. There are some minor losses to the paintwork.
