Castleford Pottery

Hinged and sliding lids
- ... that many English Castleford-type ceramic teapots have either a sliding or a hinged lid (examples pictured)? Source: "The teapots are moulded in two parts, with applied handle and sprig decoration, and may have a drop-in, sliding or hinged cover", Fitzwilliam Museum, plus other offline sources.

Article has been created within the respective time frame. Hook is interested and cited in the source specified. No copyright concerns. Image was taken by Daderot and given an appropriate free licence for the main page, though it may be worth clarifying (not sure how) that these are examples of teapots, not actual teapots at the pottery.

- Thanks! Since that business closed c. 1821, and these are "Castleford-type" pieces whose actual place of origin is not on the image file (if known), I'm not sure how this could be done, nor whether it is necessary - the hook link shows as "Castleford-type".

- I mentally pictured Fiona Bruce asking an expert how much the teapots in the picture would fetch at auction. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:56, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Well, that's a fair question - about £100-ish I think - lots have chips, even in museums. James Whitbread Lee Glaisher, who collected the Fitzwilliam examples, paid less than £1 each in Edwardian times. Johnbod (talk) 14:49, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
