MEET UP MORNINGS NEAR FORT AND COOK, selling lots of good items, some free with purchase, click on my photo for listings Excellent condition, shiny glaze, no chips or cracks or damage at all. It is big, it holds 8 measuring cups of water. It weighs 2.5 lbs empty and filled would be 6.5 pounds it’s heavy! “Teacups” are considered as 6 ounces volume so it is a 10 “teacup” pot. It does not drip and dries flat upside down. The lid doesn’t fit on when the stainless steel infuser is in it so I’ve included a new coaster of Australian Aboriginal art that is coated on one side and cork on the other to cover it while steeping. When the steeping is done remove it and put the teapot lid on. The cozy was never used, made by “Lady Rosedale” see their website below. Proudly MADE IN CANADA! It is 2 pieces, the insulating thermal thick liner is separate so it’s easily washed if necessary without having to wash the outer fabric which is 100% linen, lovely machine embroidery as shown. It’s a pale lime green colour and has a loop at the top for easy removing from the teapot. The inside of the insulating liner measures 12” wide by 10” high and fits well on the teapot. The insulation piece is thick to keep the tea hot for a longer time. https://www.ladyrosedale.ca/search?q=tea&options%5Bprefix%5D=last NOTE: Here’s what’s happened with Sadler teapots as they are no longer made in England! I’ve copied this info from the web “In April 2000, Churchill China bought the brand, designs, and customer list of the Sadler china company, but they did not acquire Sadler's manufacturing factories or physical assets. Churchill China continued to produce and sell collector's teaware and other items under the Sadler name, moving production to their own facilities.   What the phrase means:   * "Name and business" 
 means Churchill China acquired the right to use the Sadler brand name and the company's customer base and designs. * "But not the works" 
 means Churchill China did not buy the physical factories, machinery, or other assets where Sadler previously manufactured its products. * In essence: Churchill China purchased the intellectual property and brand identity of Sadler, allowing them to continue making and selling products under the Sadler name, while Sadler's old factories became defunct.   What is the history of Churchill China? Churchill China traces its origins back to 1795 and the foundation of its first factory in what later became Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. As a manufacturer of the finest ceramic tableware. The company markets products for both the hospitality and retail markets, exporting to countries across the world.” I searched online for this teapot as it’s made in China, there’s one on the e-t-s-y site for $55 plus taxes, duty and shipping, and it doesn't include an infuser or a tea cozy, so this is a very good price! I do have a Sadler teapot made in England listed.
