Sadler OKT42 Teapot Collectors Information

The important point to make is that these teapots were relatively cheap products at the time so they had chips, firing flaws and glaze faults from new. The glaze often has bubble marks, is not even, as the pot was ‘dipped’ into the liquid hence the glaze runs.

Associated Teapot Designs

These include the Sadler aeroplanes and tanks. The aeroplanes are considerably scarcer than the tanks and probably only available pre-war whereas the tank had a longer run. The caravan, bus and boat by the Beswick pottery are often listed as Sadler output because theese used the same pre-war green, yellow, ivory primary colourways as the early teapots.
