ca.1825 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
This teapot and stand was manufactured by the New Hall China Works which, between 1781 and 1835, made tea-sets exclusively, indicating the importance of tea drinking to English society at this time. It is part of a service consitsing of forty five pieces which includes two sizes of cups, two sizes of saucers, plates, sugar bowl, milk jug and slop-basin.
The form of this teapot is known as the 'London-shape' and was produced by most contemporary manufacturers. The teapot in every New hall service had a stand, which could catch drips as well as protecting the table from heat. Very few of these stands survive in comparison to the survival of the teapots.
