<p>[QUOTE="patr2016, post: 4381995, member: 58762"]Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me identify the somewhat strange markings on the bottom of a teapot. The teapot in question belonged to my great aunt, who died in 2000. I'm not sure where she got the teapot; she worked in a large department store in New Jersey her entire life. After her death, it went to my mother, who still has it. </p><p><br /></p><p>On to the teapot itself: it's cream-colored with golden edging and delicate gold flower designs around the body. The lid is similarly decorated, featuring a 10-pointed star in gold. The bottom contains the strange markings, also in gold, along with a faint embossed section which reads "SADLER ENGLAND". I'd be quite happy with any information that can be discovered about this teapot, but my specific question is regarding the markings in gold on the bottom. They're probably some kind of maker's mark, but I couldn't find anything online, and honestly wouldn't know what to search!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>Images: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/snmFMIC" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/a/snmFMIC" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/snmFMIC</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
