    I sincerely hope this is a rare piece but I think it's a Chinese import. The shield should be blue with the number below rather than to the side.

    No, I don't think so, I know where it's been since the 30's.

    It's a lovely teapot for sure. Cornish really knows her stuff!

    Hope it's a rare one.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,

    It almost certainly predates 1891 since were it later, it would have "ENGLAND" below the mark and after 1921 "MADE IN ENGLAND". Since their early wares were unmarked, I'd put a tentative date as 1880s.

    Assuming the pics accurately represent the colour, both that, the pattern and shape are not unlike Worcester Porcelain from the late 18thC, perhaps they were trying to copy the old Worcester designs.
    I have to say, having seen tens of thousands of items, I have never seen one of these and though it has a fairly broad appeal, the money is probably going to come from avid T.G. Green collectors of all periods or, if it's really rare, a pottery museum.

    If you do a Google search you'll find a number of valuation websites including Valuemystuff which is one I've used almost since they started.

    Good luck and if it's rare and highly valued and you're not desperate for the money, don't sell it; when you do decide to let it go, look at the possibility of using a good auction house.

    T G Green are still going. Maybe they could give you some information regarding age and the mark which might help you.

    I think you are right. I was just thinking about the reference in Goddens as that mark having been used from 1892 onwards but wasn't thinking about the England bit !
    They must have been using that mark before 1891 in that case, earlier than was recorded. Glad somebody around here has some brains !

    It might be worth a try but the company has changed hands several times so where the original pattern records might be, who knows ?! I just found this article which is quite interesting. I hope they save those lovely old kilns. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/...hire-July-2012

    Hi, I am the Historian & Archivist for T G Green & Co and specialise in patterns and designs from 1864 through to 1974.

    This Tea Pot is quite unique, I've not seen one before myself. In it's day it would have been produced in a very large number, but having lived through two wars, not many have survived. Other contributors have got everything spot on, the registered pattern number (D.150) dates to the very early 1900's but sadly there is no name.

    Now the bad news, there are not many collectors of Victorian/Edwardian T G Green wares around, so despite it's rarity and good condition it would struggle to reach more than £35 even on Ebay... Sorry.
