Antique Victorian teapot, English pottery

English pottery teapot dating from the 19th century with a typical Victorian style. Glossy black with a white and gold floral decoration on a matte green background. The lid has chips on one edge, not visible when closed. This lid slides into place, a sliding rim allows this. Another chip is at the spout. It has survived more than a century and remains superb. It can be used, the ideal being to display it for all to see. A very beautiful collector's item.
