Featured Chinese 19c ? teapot

Hi folks

I bought this today from my mate who does house clearances, paid quite cheap (£10)
because there is a repair to the spout

hopefully theres a bit of profit in it but unsure

presuming 19th c

nice to have the lid, but regretting buying because of the damage

any thoughts appreciated

 

Search Famille Rose teapot.

 

Try "Rose Medallion." You'll find something like this.

Thanks peggy (hard to type that name without thinking of my beloved poodle)

Seems to be a canton teapot from searching that

That's bringing up quite a lot, thanks deb

Will just have to see if a profit can be made on it

 

You have pretty much all you need already, but if you want to be fancy this is a Rose Mandarin pattern (as the main decorative panel is of figures). It's late 19th as you say. Also the lids and handles are usually missing, so it will help offset the spout damage a little. Should be a profit in it, although it's not going to set your world on fire of course.

 

Thanks Ce b, your opinion is always very much valued

 

I would pay £10 for this all day long. I love a bit of famille rose and its a lovely item.

 

If you post it for sale somewhere, I would make sure to have good pics of the lid. Might well sell to someone who needs the lid for an undamaged one.

 

If you sell the lid I'll give y8u a tenner for the rest

 

It's beautiful, @charlie cheswick . I hope you do well with it.

 

Lol, I always keep confusing these 3 Famille Rose catagories. Like a toungue twister.

The very best and usually the oldest dating to 1830 is famile mandarin and they are usually of very good quality, Rose canton follows and can be quite good quality.

The most common is the rose medallion, and many are not as of such good quality.
