This stunning large black transferware teapot was manufactured by Jacob Furnival in Cobridge, Staffordshire England circa 1840-1853. Furnival was one of the many infamous potters of the Stoke-On-Trent district. The pattern name is "Moss Rose" and features beautifully detailed black roses, leaves, sprigs and buds on a crisp white background. T are several areas on this teapot w the blueish tin pearlware glaze is remarkably pronounced.....such as around the lid finial and underside of the lid and around the ridges of the pots pedestal and spout base. Even though this particuliar piece does not bear the makers mark and pattern name (I have no idea why some do and some don't) it does have the impressed letter "P" that is common to all of Jacob Furnivals Moss Rose pieces as well as a little impressed asteris. The teapot features 6 paneled sides that flare outwards as they decend down to a ridged 6 sided pedestal base. The overall condition of this striking teapot is wonderful considering not only its age but the fact that, in it's day, it was considered a very utilitarian piece of everyday kitchenware. T is some generalized crazing noted with darkening noted to some of the lines. What looks like a crack or repair mark around the finial IS NOT. It is a darkened craze line. I 100% guarentee that t have been no repairs or restorations read more
