Lingard Pottery Teapot: “Old Lady in a Shoe”

Price: 65

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

A novelty tea pot by Lingard Pottery of England in the form of a shoe house with the Old Lady’s head serving as the teapot lid. Lingard is known for its whimsical (novelty) teapots, and this one certainly is near the top of the list! The teapot is green glazed with silver highlights. It measures 6 ½” high and 9” from handle to spout and marked with and impressed “England.” A printed cartouche ( “Lingard Made in England” from others I have seen) has rubbed off or been severely smudged. The teapot dates to the early 20th century, probably 1920-1930. This teapot is clean and free of flaws. You’ve got to love the old lady’s face and the oversized buckle on the teapot.
