B855 A Feldspathic Sowter, Mexborough Teapot with Hinged Lid

An early nineteenth century feldspathic Sowter, Mexborough type teapot with hinged lid, c. 1810. It is decorated with acanthus leaves and classical scenes. Currently the lid has a wooden hinge when I think originally it would have had a metal one. (Easy to replace). It has no makers marks. It measures 9.5″ long. There is a circular crack on the underside of the lid, and the glazing is poor. No other damage.
