LoriAnn a very lovely teapot. A wonderful find for you.
How exciting! I'm so happy for you and can't wait to hear about your trip.We are going to England in a couple of months. My wife has already gotten us reservations for property in one of the fancy hotels I've never done this before looking forward to it. Besides it's time to buy a new suit.

I finally found a teapot! Via an antique collector on Etsy...

The seller says the back stamp indicates it's from the 1930s to mid-40s. My hope is that it is indeed true, as I was looking for a vintage piece. However, even if the dating is off, I love the look AND it's English. Either way, I'm good with it.
Now let's hope it ships to me in one piece!

I don't blame you. I'd be pretty excited about that as well.Thank you will do don't laugh I looking forward to trying a cucumber finger sandwich.
Thanks for the reply.I don't blame you. I'd be pretty excited about that as well.
Thank you for the kind words and when we get back I'll give you a breakdown of the food in the meantime cheerio.What a beautiful teapot! It's lovely and it does seem to look vintage to me. The style and the floral pattern are sure to be pre- 1950's. It should come in one piece. I've ordered tea things from sellers on Etsy and never had anything arrive broken. People pack that stuff really good, don't worry!
Cucumber finger sandwiches are quite yummy, I promise! Grant you they aren't really filling but the tea tray comes with so many little treats that you'll be full by the time you leave! Have fun!
Do you know what country produced it.Thought of you guys and this thread at tea the other day. Here is my Great Grandma's tea cup. I've been trying to date it. Based on the backstamp, I think it's 1939 - early 40s, but I'm not certain. It's Colclough #6621.

It is stamped, "Longton, England". I found the backstamp information here: TheVintageTeacupDo you know what country produced it.
You might try going to replacements.com and this site may help you track it's age.

I don't. I only know the number (#6621), and it seems when I search on Google, everyone else only has a number as well.Do you know the pattern name,i've seen a couple but they are not exact.the pattern does appear to be c1940.
Just saw this thread and am really enjoying it. MrsP is a professional tea drinker, many teapots and cozys old and new in the cabinets.Now that I'm "me" again , I can enjoy the delicate and the pretty. I agree with you ~ if we wait for holidays to enjoy our favorite pieces (from tea cups to dresses), we'll spend most of our lives missing out.
As someone who makes things, I always tell loved ones when I give them a handmade gift, "You are to use this. Don't hide it somewhere for fear you will get something on it or snag it or whatever. Use it. Stain it. Snag it. That's why I made it for you!" (I hand quilted a gorgeous quilt for some family members and later discovered it just sits folded in a bedroom closet. Ugh.)You are absolutely right about saving nice things only for holidays and the older you get you realize you were indeed missing out. They were meant to be used.

@LoriAnn ,6621 is the pattern #,the best description available is that it is a Floral Pattern with Scrolls Gold Scalloped Trim.what I have found out is that it is a rare pattern today.ReplacementsLtd. which is the largest dealer of China patterns in the world has 2,249 pieces of Colclough China in their inventory but of your pattern they have just 1 piece which just so happens to be a tea cup.I don't.

All I have is that one tea cup. My grandmother saved it because it was her mother's.I hope you have a complete set to treasure as your grandmother had very good taste.
