This is a vintage mid-20th century Arthur Wood & Son pattern 6426 ceramic teapot.
Arthur Wood & Son was established in 1884 in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, which served as the heart of England's famous Staffordshire pottery district. The company gained an enduring reputation for producing high-quality earthenware, including teapots, vases, and decorative tablewares that became staples in British households.
During the mid-20th century, Staffordshire potteries like Arthur Wood perfected the art of combining elegant, fluted earthenware shapes with romantic botanical patterns. These teapots were manufactured in large quantities for both domestic use and export, and today they remain highly collectible examples of classic English ceramic craftsmanship.
