A Fine Export Egg-Shaped Teapot by Robert Bush Jr. - SOLD

This egg-shaped teapot is reminiscent of the mid eighteenth century teapots made by the Bassetts of New York and Hartford.

A handsome form made during the late 18th century when slush cast hollow handles began to appear.

Clearly marked on the inside bottom if fine condition retaining it's original bone button. 6 7/8" tall to top of finial.

This pot has the unusual feature of the lid being unattached to the body. The lack of a hinge gives this a very "clean" look.
