Description: A delightful Rye Pottery tea pot. Pottery has been produced in Rye since mediaeval times, but what is now known as Rye Pottery was started at Cadborough near the end of the eighteenth century. Cadborough established the ‘Hopware’ design that is now recognized as traditional for Rye Pottery - applied sprigs of hops and hop leaves on pots made from local clay with a lead glaze.
In the second half of the nineteenth century the Bellevue Pottery opened in Rye and was also run by the Mitchell family.
Incised Rustic Ware mark, along with the 'Pin Dust' mark, indicating the oxide added to the glaze to provide the green colour. The tea pot is decorated with flower sprigs and applied decoration.
c. 1900's
