Adams English Staffordshire transferware teapot

Porcelain : Antique : Teapots

 

Ceramic teapot in AS IS condition, 9" across from spout to handle, and about 5" high at top of the lid, bearing on the bottom the mark of William Adams, Tunstall, England. This mark apparently would date the pot to after 1896. The pot is very interesting, with multiple colors, and sayings in 18th century text, like "The Tour of Dr. Syntax in search of the Picturesque" and "Deeter Syntax attends Rural Sports". I am a fine arts dealer, so pottery, porcelain and ceramics are not my specialty----I'm hoping I've identified this correctly. The spout unfortunately is broken; but, on a shelf it could be displayed so that this would not be at all visible! SEE HUNDREDS OF PAINTINGS AND PRINTS NOW IN MY SHOP.
