Antique Ironstone Teapot - Elsmore & Foster Wheat Pattern Diamond Mark White Tea / Coffee Pot

Fabulous antique ironstone porcelain manufactured by Elsmore & Foster. When I first noticed this piece in a PEI antique shop I thought it was a reproduction because it is in such remarkable condition. Further investigation proved it to be the real thing! This wheat pattern was registered on November 2, 1859. The diamond mark was used in England from 1842 to 1883 and this teapot was produced between 1859 and 1867. Minor imperfections are common as this type of pottery was intended for everyday utilitarian use. Clear glazed, grey white porcelain with wheat and leaf design, rope braid trim, open loop lids, and applied handles.
