This antique Staffordshire Black Basalt Teapot is a rare find from the late 18th or early 19th century. Made from black basalt stoneware, developed by Josiah Wedgwood, it boasts a matte black finish with a fine texture. The rounded body showcases intricate relief or engine-turned designs, highlighted by a patterned band of foliage or scrollwork. It has a curved handle, a nibbled spout, and a domed lid with an acorn-shaped finial. A really nice piece for collectors and tea enthusiasts alike!
