I am happy to present an adorable Portmeirion Cardew Pomona Victorian Tea Table teapot. It has exceptional tiny detail and is in very nice condition! Some of my photos show the item as an off white. In person, the base color is actually very white.

The teapot lid with the minis is in perfect condition with no flaws seen! Many Cardew teapots of this age do have some crazing and this one does have some clean and hard to see crazing on the teapot base. Please see the photos and description below...

The teapot shows a table covered with a lace cloth sporting several Pomona miniature items. And, the tablecloth is surrounded with six Pomona fruits - Late Duke Cherry, Reine Claude Plum, and Hoary Morning Apple on one side with Grimwoods Royal Peach, Teinton Squash Pear, and The Red Currant (retired) on the other.

The area between the table and handle is painted with gold. It is shiny and bright with no gold loss.

On the top, sitting on lace, we have a Plum and Apple Pomona bowl filled with apples, a Hoary Morning Apple coffee cup and saucer, and an open magazine with tiny print that you might actually be able to read with a magnifying glass.

It is 5-1/2" from handle to spout, about 3-3/4" high to the top of the coffee pot, and 3-1/2" across the bottom. I did not put water in it to measure, but it must be just about 1 cup in capacity.

There are no cracks, chips or other damage. No crazing at all is found on the lid, but some very clean and hard to see crazing is on the base. There are two lines on the handle, another two on the spout, and a few on each side. There are not that many lines, maybe a total of 12 or so overall, but most are long and soaked them in water for a few minutes to make sure they were crazing and not hairline cracks.

There are no marks on the bottom other than the Portmeirion logo printed in gold. This teapot was made in England while some Cardew was made in later days in China. In my opinion, the quality and finish of the English teapots are superior.

The photo below was borrowed from an identical teapot. The teapot in this listing has a partial UPC code, dating the teapot to 1995, attached over the logo.
