The three piece teapot set includes the kettle, lid, and table stand. Finished in a dark brown treacle glaze with enameled, raised and molded floral applications.

The notched lid is held securely while pouring. The raised stand is for resting the pot on the table.
Measham Ware was decorated with floret appliqués and an impressed panel or banner personalized using a printer’s typeface. The pottery, also known as Rockingham or Motto Ware, was produced from the 1870’s by William Mason, a South Derbyshire potter.
Often called ‘barge ware’ because it was extensively marketed through a shop on Measham High Street, located near the canal bridge at Cut End Measham. Passing bargees could order a personalized piece and collect the item on their return journey.
