Title: Can you help identify these pots mark II
Post by: Sherlockian on March 18, 2013, 04:20:24 PM

Last 3 - an old cream teapot sadly missing its spout and not marked
A black Japanese style teapot marked B&H Pekin
A pot lid is Whitaker & Crossmith's Bears Grease Lid, 20 Silk St City London

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Just to clarify, we have seen identical pot lids marked Whitaker & Limited but never Whitaker & Crossmith's

Also, have seen a white version of the Pekin teapot but not the black/brown one.

Thanks - have just posted on that site. Interesting to see that there's another one but unfortunately the forum doesn't tell us a lot about it.
