Teapot

This porcelain teapot was made around 1770 by William Littler at West Pans in East Lothian.

The teapot has an inverted pear-shaped body over-glaze painted with Chinese style scenes, a S-shaped spout, a simple C-shaped handle and a domed lid.

William Littler arrived in Scotland in the early 1760s after the failure of his Longton Hall factory in Staffordshire. The founder of Scotland's porcelain industry, his factory made high quality, if uneconomical, wares until its closure in 1777.
