RARE Castleton Teapot Gold Medallion Pattern...Vintage and Very Beautiful, Near Mint GREAT WEDDING GIFT

Description

I will gift-wrap this item for you at no additional cost.

THIS TEAPOT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AT LAST! It is a very rare Castleton Teapot in the Gold Medallion pattern, manufactured between 1963-1972. Replacements Ltd. does not even have this teapot in stock, but other Castleton Teapots with the same body style and differing pattern begin at $800+ in their store. It has taken me a year to finally learn who made this teapot :) To understand why, read on:

This is a truly beautiful, quality teapot, in near mint condition--except for one thing: the maker's mark has been etched away from the bottom! Don't know why anyone would do this; I purchased the teapot in this condition sometime back from an antique store.

Other than this peculiar flaw (which can only be seen when the teapot is turned upside down) the teapot is in great, very slightly used condition--no chips, cracks, crazing, or fleabites. The teapot base color (gallery picture is the most accurate) is a bone cream color, with lots of elegant gold detailing, and a peacock-style medallion. I have taken pictures of both medallions on front and back of teapot; front medallion is slightly larger. The teapot is approximately 10" from the handle to the tip of the spout, and 6" from the base to the top of the finial. The beauty of the teapot lies in its exquisitely balanced proportions, rendering it a very graceful elegance; no clunkiness here!
