Chinese Teapot with Lid and 3 Matching Teacups
E.M. & Co. Dog Tradmark, Chang, Circa 1870s
This is an Edge Malkin teapot with three matching teacups in the Chang design. Made circa 1870s, these pieces are ironstone Polychrome Chinoiserie on a cream background. All the pieces are in good shape with no chips, cracks or scratches. One of the teacups has a bit of crazing but only serves to confirm its age. There's a bit of smeared paint in a couple of places but this would appear to be the result of the manufacturing process. The rims of the teacups are also a little faded suggesting they may have been used at some point, but there's no evidence of tea stains in any of the pieces.
The measurements are:
Teapot: 5.25" wide, 3.75" tall with lid and weight is 11 oz.
Teacups: 4.75"wide, 2.5" tall, 4" in diameter and weight is 6 oz. each.
