Wedgwood & Co ‘The Cube’ teapot

A delightful, stylish Art Deco ‘The Cube’ teapot by Wedgwood & Co teapot.

A remarkable and captivating design where both handle and spout are contained within the cube shape, these teapots were originally designed to be used on ships, for their stability of form meaning they wouldn’t tip over on the waves.

From Wikipedia’:
“The cube teapot was invented by Englishman Robert Crawford Johnson (1882–1937), who was responsible for the design and registered “Cube Teapots Ltd” in 1917. Johnson specified in his patent application that the design could be made in either ceramic or metal. He perfected the design, one that did not drip, poured easily, was chip resistant and stacked together for easy storage. With no spout or projecting handle the cube teapot looked exactly as it sounds – a cube. The cube teapot was first put into production in 1920, in earthenware by Arthur Wood of Stoke-on-Trent, England. It was later licensed to other firms including Wedgwood & Co Ltd.”

With fluted vertical strips and gold outlining to the perimeter, the teapot is in great condition with no chips or cracks whatsoever.

A splendid pair of iconic and debonair Art Deco tea wares to grace your sideboard, shelf or cabinet collection or breakfast table.

The teapot measures 10.4cm X 10.4cm X 9.7cm tall.
