Featured French? Teapot ID

Todays car boot purchase! I’ve exhausted Google and only come to the conclusion that it could be French?
Or not…..
It’s a good size at c8.5” handle to spout and 3.5” tall. The painting looks good quality even if the subject matter of trapping birds is debatable.
The marks are so faint it’s tricky to see what they say. One is an 8, possibly an AC? and the other I can’t read at all.
Any help please!
Thankyou.

 

I think that's the lid from the sugar bowl . Maybe the sugar broke and the teapot lid did too, so they married pot and lid.

 

Could well be! Fits pretty snugly so a sensible move.

 

Thats so pretty ! I think Italian,but I could be way off.

 

Sooo pretty

 

A sugar bowl of that date would not have been small enough to have such a tiny lid.

id pop it on the Potty Porcelain group.

 

My vote too!

 

Thankyou
What date are we thinking?
Is this the group?

 

That’s the one. I think your pot might be early nineteenth, but someone on that group will absolutely know.

 

Fab, Thankyou x

 

It's Continental, not British, yes? Does that group answer non-British ceramic questions? Could try this one, too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1619637258258961 (Antique European Porcelain).

 

Also, I think that may be the correct lid -- why else gild the rim which would be hidden if there was a larger lid?

 

The Potty group are very good on non British as well, useful bunch.
