It is hand-decorated English earthenware made in Staffordshire, England and measures approximately 6 1/2 inches high and 6 1/2 inches in diameter and 10 inches handle to spout. Because the pieces of this collection are hand-painted, each one is somewhat unique. On this teapot there are beautiful masted sailing ships on either side with sea gulls flying overhead and third ship painted at the base of the spout. The underside bears Oxney Green marks. The teapot has never been used. It is new and without any chips, marks or crazing.

Oxney Green's "Nautical" dishware is highly collectible. There's an underlying seafaring theme present throughout the blue and white collection. The English company traces back to a father and son named Dennis and David Townsend. In the late 1950s, Dennis Townsend, the father, established a successful pottery business named Iden Pottery. By the 1990s, Iden Pottery was booming expanding a line of exports in the United States and other countries. Dennis Townsend's son, David, began Oxney Green to assist in keeping up with demand. The "Nautical" collection became very popular with a strong following in coastal communities like Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Production ended when Iden Pottery and its lines closed in 2002, making these pieces vintage collectables.
