Gorgeous vintage teapot from gibson & sons in the "victoria" pattern, featuring intricate panels, scrolls, flourishes and dots in gold, white, red and blue, over a deep and very elegant black background. Underside of teapot is marked with gold printed "g&s ltd, victoria, rd no 300283, made in england" and a hand-painted "x" Made with the distinctive red clay found in staffordshire that distinguishes the "brown betty " style teapots beloved in england. The set consists of the teapot itself, the double filter and the lid. It's in lovely vintage condition, with expected evidence of age and use. There are no cracks to the teapot, although there's a small chip on the bottom of the filter. There is also the wear of age on the painted design and the gold trim.

Please, note I have in my shop more items from this model: cups, saucers and sugar bowl. The teapot with its filter measures 21 cm wide, 14 cm in diameter and 26 cm high.
