Description
A black-glazed earthenware commemorative teapot 1st half 19th century, one side moulded with Britannia and an angel beside an obelisk, the angel holding a shield titled 'Nelson', the reverse with a panel of naval motifs, representing Nelson's three panels, tiny rim chips, 25cm. (2)
Such glazed teapots used similar sprigging to the black basalt examples, and were a more affordable option for those wishing to honour the memory of Nelson on a budget. However, survivals of this type appear to be rare.
