Staffordshire or Shropshire, circa 1750. The word Jackfield comes immediately to mind when describing this three-footed pot generically, the type of black glazed red earthenware made early- to mid-18th century, hand-painted with a honey gilding, easily worn, the globular teapot with applied vine and leaves with a glossy black glaze, and with crabstock handle and spout, and with bird finial. Mid-18th century, Jackfield, Shropshire or possibly made in Staffordshire.
