HistArch,



I'm wondering if anyone can date this teapot. It was my grandmother's, so it doesn't come from an archaeological context; I'm just curious about it.

It is enamel painted porcelain, presumably Chinese, with no manufacture marks I could identify. The last photograph is the lid.



My grandfather was stationed in the Philippines with the Naval Dental Corps during World War II, so it could have been acquired there, but who knows. Neither of my grandparents are alive to confirm anything.





Thanks.
