Beautiful Subtle and Tactile Relief-Patterned Teapot by Keele Street Pottery in Mint Green

A possible impending house move has forced me into evaluating all the contents of my attic and some items will have to go, in my effort to downsize. I'm making progress but more items need to go!

A Beautiful Subtle and Tactile Relief-Patterned Teapot by Keele Street Pottery in Mint Green.

The Keele Street Pottery company was founded in 1915 by Charles H. Bowers, Elijah Brookes, J. A Robinson and H. W. Pitt. It closed in 1941 under the wartime Concentration scheme, and the buildings were used by government to store shell cases.
Bower’s son, Charles Griffiths Bowers, re-activated the business in 1946, and in 1947 the product ranges were extended to include ornamental ware, cottage ware and other fancies, but they also produced more restrained and subtle designs such as this.
In 1958 the company became a subsidiary of Staffordshire Potteries.

They are most well known for their kitsch cottage ware, which is not to everyone’s taste. This teapot however, is a completely different story and should appeal to lovers of restrained and utilitarian design. It is so tactile, with the beautiful dotted relief patterning, it's very organic.

This teapot is in very good vintage condition for a piece at least 70 years old. It has a small chip to the spout as photographed, but this does not affect the pour of the spout as seen in the last photo. The teapot stands about 5 inches/13 cm tall, and holds just over 1 pint/600ml of tea.
There are faint impressed England and KSP marks to the base, which I have tried my best to photograph. My camera totally washed out the mint-green colour of the pot so I have used a filter to better represent the true colour.

Perfect for use for that special afternoon tea, and would also look stunning on display.
