Title: Teapot
Post by: Crispin on May 08, 2010, 05:50:07 PM

I thought when I bought this that this mark was for Sadler but I have never been able to find a similar mark for them.

Is it recognizable to anyone else?

That mark's not shown in either Godden's British Pottery & Porcelain Marks or in Lang's Pottery & Porcelain Marks, so I'm puzzled!

Oh, and it'd more likely be a coffee pot in that shape rather than a teapot, Crispin. :)  Sadler were famous for their lovely round brown betty teapots.

That's the one! (My Mother is gutted as she recently dropped and broke hers and is now using a horrid stainless steel one whilst she finds a replacement she likes.)

Is the brown betty marked, Crispin?

Yep -  a sadler mark underneath.

Did you guys realize that the "brown betty" was no longer being made. Apparently the company has gone out of business.  :crying1:

Too me it looks like Sadler in script -- but I have never seen it written that way either

Oh, no, no, no, no!!! In 2000 the name and business (but not the works) of Sadler was taken over by Churchill China. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!  :24:

You gladden a girl's heart Tigger!  :cheerleader: Thanks for that great news!  :pst: But what do you mean by the works? Are the teapots gone for good?  :ft:

I got the quote from Staffordshire potteries site. I think it means the original Sadler factory location.
