Victorian Minton Treacle Glazed Cadogan Teapot, c. 1880 
An unusual late 19th-century Cadogan teapot by Minton, dating to around 1880. 
Moulded in a rounded form with applied foliate and floral decoration, the piece is finished in a rich treacle-brown glaze typical of the period. 
In the Cadogan style, the teapot is filled from underneath rather than through the spout, a novelty design that gained popularity in the Victorian era.

A decorative example of Victorian treacle-glazed pottery from the Minton factory, displaying characteristic design and technique despite the damage.
