Description: Vintage Alcock, Lindley and Boore (ALB) Brown Betty Teapot with two Light Brown Rings at TopMade in Stoke-on-Trent, England by ALB. It is not marked ALB, I assume it is ALB based on the shape (lid, handle, spout, top edge, etc.). (If you know differently, please message me so that I may correct the listing).There are three types of marks on the bottom, including:An incised "ENGLAND"A mark that appears to be stamped into the glaze reading "MADE IN ENGLAND PATENT ??874?." The patent number is six digits, but three digits are illegible. The 3rd, 4th and 5th digits are 874.An incised number "20." This may be the pattern or model number (?).I have no idea of the age of this teapot. It appears vintage and could have been made anytime from the 1920s to the 1970s.The capacity is at least 3 cups. I measured it and it holds 3.5 cups easily. 4 cups fill it all the way to the top edgeIt has the traditional dark brown Rockingham glaze with two light brown rings at the top. It is clearly made of the red clay from Stoke-on-Trent, England (seen on underside of lid). The condition is very good. There is one very small chip on the edge of the spout (see photo). There is also some greenish-brown discoloration in the glaze. The discoloration is in the original glaze and is not a stain. The discoloration appears on one side of the handle and in a localized area on one side of the main body of the pot (see last three photos). This discoloration makes this a unique one-off pot.Otherwise, there are no chips, cracks or repairs to this nice useable teapot.It measures about 8 3/4 inches long (spout to handle). The main body is about 5 inches in diameter. It is about 4 1/2 inches tall at the rim and 5 1/8 inches tall with the lid on.
