Cauldon Ceramics Brown Betty 2 Cup Teapot With Original Staffordshire Logo

Cauldon Ceramics Brown Betty 2 Cup Teapot With Original Staffordshire Logo is the round red-clay teapot Britain has brewed in since the 1750s, made by Cauldon Ceramics - the oldest surviving Brown Betty pottery in Stoke-on-Trent. This one carries the Original Staffordshire mark on the body - Cauldon's way of saying the pot was thrown in the Potteries, not copied elsewhere.

Product Highlights & Features

• Why the shape matters: The globe body lets loose leaf lift and circulate as it brews, and the spout is cut roughly at the tip so it breaks the flow of water and pours without dribbling down the side of the pot.
• Staffordshire red clay: Thrown from Etruria Marl, the dense local clay first refined in Staffordshire in the late 1600s. It holds heat, so tea stays hot in the pot long after a thin china one has gone cold.
• Size and finish: A 2-cup pot - enough for a pot for yourself, or two proper mugs. Finished in the deep treacle-brown Rockingham glaze, which does not show tea staining.

About Cauldon Ceramics: Cauldon Ceramics is the oldest surviving maker of the Brown Betty teapot in Britain, working from Stoke-upon-Trent in the Staffordshire Potteries. It still throws the pot from local Etruria Marl red clay and finishes it in the Rockingham glaze that Staffordshire potters settled on by the 1750s.
