Product description
Rare Antique Wedgwood Black Basalt Teapot – Sybil Knob
Description: For the lover of classic English earthenware: a beautiful, authentic Wedgwood Black Basalt teapot. This iconic design in deep black unglazed stoneware is a timeless jewel for any interior.
Special features:
- The underside is stamped with the early "WEDGWOOD" mark and the number "2". The absence of a three-letter date code indicates early production, likely between 1780 and 1860.
Iconic design: Features the famous "Sybil" (Egyptian figure) knob on the lid and an elegant vertical fluted pattern on the body.
Craftsmanship: A beautiful example of the craftsmanship of Josiah Wedgwood, intended to emulate the appearance of antique bronze.
Condition: The teapot is in good antique condition with character. As befits an object over 170 years old, there are some signs of use: a small chip on the inner rim of the lid (not visible when the lid is on the pot) and a few minimal "flea bites" on the underside of the spout. This does not detract from the decorative value and historical charm of this early piece.
Material: Black Basalt (black stoneware)
Brand: Wedgwood Period: Early 19th-century (antique)
A unique opportunity to own an early piece of Wedgwood history. Beautiful as a decoration or as an addition to a collection.
