A beautiful, ornate, yet simply designed, elegant vintage 'Bristol Garden' Royal Cauldon coffee pot or tall teapot in white china

This beautiful coffee pot was made in England and dates from between 1962 and 1974 when this particular back stamp was used on Royal Cauldon china. The design is known as 'Bristol Garden' and features embossed trellis and flower patterns on a high glaze white base.

The name Royal Cauldon was in use from around 1930 and it became part of the Wedgwood Group in the 1970's and the pot is stamped with the maker's mark and design on the base.

This lovely coffee pot has strainer holes between the body and spout and holds approximately 1100ml. I always test the pour of my teapots and this one has a very narrow spout and so pours with a slow and very elegant fine flow, perfect for filling delicate demitasse or espresso sized cups.

The spout tip has a slight squint, probably due to slight deformation of the clay prior to firing, but this is only noticeable on close inspection. The lid of this coffee pot is fluted and scalloped around the edges, as is the lid seat on the body. Because this design does not feature a retaining lug on the lid it does need to be held in place during pouring to prevent it falling off.

This beautiful coffee pot is in very good condition with no damage and looks as if it has never been used. On very close examination there is a tiny firing crack on the inside of the lid that has been filled with glaze and will have happened at the time of manufacture.

The pot measures approximately 21cm tall, 22cm long and 12.5cm wide.
