Note

Wedgwood was producing teapots in caneware by 1776, but was not yet satisfied with it. The first mention of cane in the Wedgwood sales records was in 1776, when seventy-eight cane teapots, probably the Bamboo form, were sold. The body was refined and in 1779 'New cane' was in production, but was not included in the 1779 Catalogue. See Edwards, Diana, 'Recent Research in the Wedgwood Archives: Early Developments in Caneware', Ars Ceramica, Number 16 (2000), pp. 36-39.
