1840-50 Flow Blue Davenport Ironstone AMOY Pattern Staffordshire Teapot

Description

1840-1850 octagonal form flow blue ironstone transfer printed AMOY pattern Teapot made by the Davenport pottery in Staffordshire, England. Pot in very  good  condition with  no cracks, chips, hairlines, or restoration. Top has small  chip and  restuck finial. Impressed Davenport mark with AMOY transfer on the  bottom. Measurements are : top to bottom 10", tip of  spout to tip of handle 10",  diameter at mid section 6 1/2". The  photos  were taken in bright late afternoon  sunlight and  make it appear as though the body of the  teapot is  brilliant white.  In person, however, it is a little darker with a mellow grayish bluish tone to the  glaze.   If you  are a flow blue collector, i'm sure you know  what I am talking about.  I only mention this because I mainly sell prints and  paintings, know nothing about flow  blue, am selling this for a friend in a nursing home, and I do not want to have  any returns.
