Description: Rare Portmeirion Velocipedes Tour De France Teapot 1970s Carnaby Street PopArt Click images to enlarge Description Rare Portmeirion Velocipedes Tour De France Teapot 1970s Carnaby Street PopArt ** If you are looking at this listing on your phone or tablet, please click on 'see full description' to see the listing in total as well as all the images I have provided ** A rare example of Portmeirion Pottery, this teapot shape (drum shape) was originally designed by Susan Williams-Ellis for hotel ware. From research I understand that the pottery decorated 'shape seconds' which were perfectly fine and usable items however were deemed to have slight manufacturing faults. These pieces were decorated with transfer designs such as Velocipedes etc. They had no backstamp to them, as with this piece. This example has a 'Tour De France' transfer on one side and 'Improved Plantation Car 1880' on the other. Velocipedes range was made by Portmeirion in around 1968 following on from the success of 'Victoriana'. Some of the designs were originally copied from 'Illustration in Strand' Magazine.This is one of two very interesting and rarely seen Portmerion pieces, see last photo of both pieces together (tankard also on Ebay at present). Measurements: sits 7inches high, just under 5inches wide at base and 9.5inches wide across from spout to handle. Condition: fair overall condition with no damage just glaze crazing (which is common for Portmerion), a couple of pin holes to the glaze (see last photo) - please see all photos provided as these form part of the condition report. Weight without packaging: 998g this will be packaged in a medium sized parcel - overseas buyers can purchase via the Global Shipping Program. **Non UK customers please note: Import VAT and customs duty may be charged by your country.
