Majolica Shorter   Boulton Bird and Fan Tea Pot
This Majolica teapot is the bird and fan on pebble background . It was manufactured by Shorter & Boulton as one of its most popular lines in the late 1800s.The registry mark portion of the circle can be seen at a angle but the rest is not visible as the glaze filled the registry mark. There are no chips and cracks on the pot or lid. Absolutely an exceptional piece. The colors are vibrant and the painting crisp. Pink on the inside of the pot and lid. Great white or cream pebble ground with pink cherry blossoms on a branch behind the brown blue and green fan and blue bird with multicolored wings and tail. Repeated on both sides. Handle and spout are brown. Pot measures 8-1/2" long from handle to tip of spout. It is about 7" tall to the top of the lid handle.
