Charming and unusual antique Phillips’s “For Fine Tea” ceramic tea jug or small teapot, finished in a rich cobalt blue glaze and fitted with its original-style hinged metal lid.
The underside is marked:
PHILLIPS’S
FOR
FINE TEA
This pot was made as commercial or advertising tea-service ware for Phillips’s tea, rather than as an ordinary household teapot. Its practical hinged metal lid is permanently attached to the rim, that would have helped prevent the lid from being lost or broken during regular service.
This piece is in great condition, it would be an excellent unique addition to your collection. Please examine the photos for your best description.
Approx measurements: 5” tall x 4” diameter.
I have been sourcing these wonderful English and French Curiosities for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
