Message:: [QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 2966596, member: 16674"]I paid €2,50 for this Teapot and it's worth every centime of it.  But it puzzles me: The finish is good.The colour is good.The feet are unglazed on their bottoms, although the bottom of the pot is glazed, so I suppose that signifies it is porcelain.Rim of the pot and the lid protrusion are hexagonal; but lid protrusion is smaller than the hole and it turns through 360 degrees. What puzzles me is that although the base says it is 'hand painted' in French,  and through the glass it appears to be so, it is shy about the country of origin.  All other teapots of this type are quite proud to give this information, and they are of course required to do so. So was this €2,50 teapot made before 1891?  And is it worth a great deal more than €2,50? Opinions please.
