Footnotes
Literature
White, Mary, Drinking at the Whites' House, Vol.2, 2021, p. 329, fig. a
Mary White discusses the impracticalities of this rare and strange form of teapot in detail, suggesting that it would never have been used. The high positioning of the spout means that the cover must be held in place when pouring, and the form would appear to be without parallel.
