My step daughter has a teapot that her deceased father brought back
from Germany at the conclusion of World War II.
We have not been able to find anything about it with exhaustive
internet search.
Does anybody know what this is? And don't say teapot! Picture on

look about halfway down at the bean pot with double handles.
I think your pot is authentic german moravian redware.

SO! It is not a teapot, it's a coffee pot. And now my other step
daughter tells me that she has a set of cups and saucers that came
with it.

Hi Fred,

Not that that is any much help...

E: Nice call on that moravian teapot. I'd have thought Spanish but I
can sure see the reference both in the form and decoration. It was a
treat to visit this red ware site. I had not thought of the e-ware
tradition in the south. I was thinking wood, salt, groundhogs and
such.
cheers,
Tony

Fred,
The clay, colour palette, and decoration are typical of 19th century =3D
north German folk pottery. You have an outstanding example.=3D20
By the end of the 19th century almost all of the traditional earthenware =

folk potteries had closed down due to changing market trends, such as =3D
cheap industrial wares in enamel, stoneware and porcelain. Imitations of =
=3D
this type of ware are made nowadays, mostly in southern Germany to sell =3D
to tourists, but these potteries have mostly started since the end of =3D

example of this type of work. =3D20

Hi Fred,
It appears to me to be a Tea Pot...low Spout, wide Body...
Coffee Pots had high Spouts...( and usually, taller narrower Bodies).

When the interior of this pot showed the small holes where the liquid =3D
exits,
that indicates that it is a teapot. Coffee pots doesn't use strainers =3D
but
those who make tea with the leaves, one needs the strainer.=3D20

Bonnie,
You have got a good point there. Reason I thought it might be a
coffee pot was Elizabeth showed me a place on the internet where
there was a pot of a different color but the same shape that was
labled Coffee pot.
I guess you could put either in it but with the strainer it makes
sense that it is a teapot primarily and it would be hard to clean if
used for coffee.

Hi Fred,
Hi Fred,
What is this Tea Pot?
It's a Tea Pot...
Coffee Pots have always had high placed Spouts...since Coffee Grounds -if
not captive - tend to settle 'low' in the liquid. Usually, they are taller
than wide, also.
Tea Pots have always had low placed Spouts...since, Tea Leaves - if not
captive - tend to rise to the upper layers of the liquid...and, usually,
they are wider than tall, also.
'S.O.C.K.S.' ( acronym for the phrase in Spanish, of, "It is what it is" )
Lol...
Love,
Phil
