Description

1930's at their Burslem factory. It is depicted in a cream colour way with its original chromium (platinum) hand painted detailing.

This is a fine example made in a classic cream colour with subtle chrome highlights. All the chrome embellishments are nice and clean. There is very little rubbing.

The teapot takes the form of an Art Deco streamlined racing car - it has the humourous number plate OK T42.

Impressed mark on the base: Made in England/Registered Number 820236. This number was used in the 1930s.

This is a lovely example - many other ones that I have seen have some sort of damage. This one has no damage, chips, or cracks. The lid is intact and the driver's head is original. There is no staining to the interior and as you can see from my images.

The teapot has a very slight craquelure to the glaze - this is very light and has not discoloured over the past 90 years. This is often found on these pieces - and seems to have been an issue with the Sadler glossy glazes at this time but it just adds to the charm of the piece.

Circa 1937.

Dimensions: it is 8 3/4 inches in length. The width is just over 4 1/4 inches It has a height of 3 3/4 inches.

The weight is just under 800 grams.We will send this with Royal Mail Recorded and cap the postage at £9.95 to you in the UK.

Price £180

FAQs

Sadler, established in Staffordshire in the late nineteenth century, gained significant popularity during the 1930s for producing whimsical novelty teapots shaped like cars, vehicles, and cultural icons.

These pieces were typically cast in earthenware, hand-glazed with cream or coloured enamels, and often finished with metallic lustre highlights or hand-painted details.

Authentic pieces generally feature manufacturer backstamps, registration or design numbers on the base, and display characteristic crazing within the glaze due to age.

Displaying a sculptural ceramic piece on an open kitchen shelf, a sideboard, or within a glass-fronted cabinet adds conversational charm and eclectic character to a contemporary space.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh scrubbing or dishwashers to protect the delicate glaze, hand-painted lines, and surface crazing.
