Condition:

This richly decorated Caughley teapot lid does have some damage. there is a chunk out of the inner rim, this of course would not show when fitted on top a teapot. there is also a very shallow chip to the rim of the lid. Both these imperfections are shown below. Despite these, it would a be a fine addition to a teapot lacking it's lid.
