<p>[QUOTE="JayC, post: 261583, member: 5121"]Hello! </p><p><br /></p><p>The note, inside this tea pot, states that the piece came from England sometime in the 1700s...and that's where we part company. Although unmarked I believe the pot came from England but I think the date of the "early 1700s" may be 50 to 100 years too early. I know the design (I believe it's called "Casanova") and if I'm correct the design didn't exist prior to the 1820s. However, I do think this is very early transferware based upon the difficulty experienced lining up the patterns on early transferware. So, that's the quandary...is it actually 18th century or 19th century. The other thing that confuses me about the piece is the professional restoration work done on the rim. Why would someone spend the effort, and money, to repair that which by the 1830s, was fairly common. Any help dating this pot would be much appreciated.[ATTACH=full]81912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81916[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
