Squared loop handle with spurs projecting up at the top and down near the bottom. Smear glazed on the outside. On each side of the body, convex vertical strips separate slightly translucent, convex rectangular panels. The central panels are each decorated with a classical female figure, one holding a cornucopia, the other a garland which is draped around a vase and pedestal. Around the lower part of the body is a strip of upward pointing leaves; the other panels, strips and shoulder are decorated with flowering foliage and acanthus. The gallery has a scalloped edge and is decorated with a daisy chain. The cover has a similar partial gallery, made to fit the other when slid into place, and a central finial moulded as a flower sitting on a bed of leaves; around the edge is a strip of inward facing pointed leaves and stylised acanthus; there is a vent hole to one side. A narrow blue line marks the edges of the panels, handle and spout and the leaves under the finial, separates the main panels horizontally into two and outlines each daisy on the gallery. The interior is unglazed, with a domed strainer at base of the spout. The underside is slightly recessed, giving a narrow foot-rim. object type: White felspathic stoneware teapot and sliding cover, with moulded body and applied reliefs, edged with blue enamel. title: teapot NOTES ----- type: history note value: Bought on 30 June 1905 from Mr Phillips of Hitchen by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge, price eighteen shillings and sixpence (18/6).
