This delightful and charming teapot for one was manufactured by Wedgewood around the 1820s. It has a beautiful salt-glazed, creamy vanilla-colored finish as opposed to the dull green this type of teapot came in as well called drabware. Wedgwood also made a slightly larger version for two cups of tea.

The soft, beautiful glaze is part of the irresistible appeal of this example. The creamy color would allow it to be placed almost anywhere. The detail is exquisite, and the elegant swirling designs and flowers are the epitome of elegance. The King Charles spaniel used as a finial is of course the piece de resistance of this piece. I believe that the teapot for one is more desirable and collectible as Wedgwood seemed to have made more of the larger size. It also will fit in a small space, infusing it with the personality of the dog. The impressed Wedgwood mark is on the underside of the teapot.

It is in excellent original condition. There is no staining, cracks, chips, hairlines or anything that might detract from the beauty of this piece of early pottery. It was obviously well cared for.

It measures about 6-¾ inches from spout to handle edge, 3-¾ inches high and 4 inches in diameter.
