Teapot
« 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?

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

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.
