QUEEN ANNE TEAPOT BY JOHN TOWNSEND
THIS 6 ½” SIGNED TEAPOT HAS A HOODED SPOUT, AN UNCOMMON VARIATION. JOHN TOWNSEND WAS A LONDON PEWTERER AND A PROLIFIC EXPORTER TO THE AMERICAN COLONIES DURING THE 18TH CENTURY. THE WOODEN HANDLE IS AN EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT AND THE CONDITION OF THE PEWTER AND MARK IS VERY GOOD.
