Royal Doulton 1920s "Tazza" Fine China retailer Teapot

This 1920s era Royal Doulton fine china teapot exhibits some of the characteristics of the emerging Art Deco retailer style. It is angular, dignified, with understated elegance. After all, it is Royal Doulton.

It bears two Rd Registration Numbers, 690446 and 693565, which fall into the British Rd number range used during the year 1922.

The dimensions are as follows:

Length: 8.5 inches
Width: 4.0 inches
Volume: 24 fluid ounces, to the rim

There is some crazing but otherwise it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or fractures. It is a very light ivory color. Note that each element in the multi-color floral spray is outlined in black, a technique of that period used to emphasize each detail.
