In good condition no cracks, tiny fleabite chip on inside of spout and some paint flaking to the blue - please see photos.
A very rare teapot and so difficult to find.
A fine addition to any collection
Please see the other Minton items I am selling, combined postage available.

Please note postage cost for overseas is an estimate.
Postage to European destinations and some international (excluding USA, Australia & Canada) will more likely be cheaper.
Should the winning bidder be overseas, please do not pay until I pack the item using quality boxes and packing materials and send an accurate invoice the following day. I do not overcharge for postage adding only minimal charge to actual postage cost to cover for boxes, bubblewrap and polystyrene chippings etc. I aim to provide a quality and economical packing service as my feedback illustrates.

Items are rarely in mint condition, if they are it will be declared in the description. Items are all vintage or antique items, therefore they will have signs of age, including stilt marks, utensil scratches, minor firing faults, wear to the gilding and natural clean glaze crazing, which is inevitable as this is part of the ageing process.

I will combine shipping when it is safe to do so, up to 2kgs for overseas sales or a large consignment if necessary. If the weight is just over 2kgs and a cheaper option for the buyer is to ship in 2 separate small boxes then this is also an option.
