Description
A classic Minton bone china teapot in the famous Haddon Hall pattern, designed by John Wadsworth. Features a white body with various floral motifs in pink, blue, and yellow with green leaves and a fluted spout. This is the larger tea/coffee pot variant with a curved handle and matching lid.
Key Features
World-renowned Minton brand; highly collectible 'Haddon Hall' pattern; elegant fluted design; bone china material.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern recognition is high (Haddon Hall is distinct). Minton backstamp would be present on base. High confidence that it is an authentic Minton piece, but value is destroyed by damage.
Flaws to Note
Major structural damage to the spout. The spout is broken through and glued back together with a visible dark brown/yellow resin line. This makes the item unsafe for food use and significantly reduces value. Potential light crazing or gold loss on the rim.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (Local) or eBay as a 'Repair/Parts/Decor Only' listing.
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to sell this as a functional teapot for food use. Market it as 'Decor Only' or for use as a planter/shabby chic display piece. Be extremely transparent about the spout repair in photos.
