Description

Charming miniature Derby porcelain novelty teapot and cover formed as a watering can covered in applied flowers and foliage. Gilded band decoration to the handle and rims, a gilded strut between the body and spout and detailed gilded decoration to the lid with an applied bouquet of flowers. Five little nozzles formed at the spout and it does fully work if you can think of a reason to use it! Bloor Derby mark to base.

It measures 3 1/4" (8cm) high, 4 1/2" (11.5cm) spout to handle and 2 3/4" (7cm) wide. Condition is good with a little minor damage: a chip to the underside of the lid, a loss to the tip of one nozzle and some usual chips and losses to the flower petals.
