I don't often use the r-word in my descriptions, but in this case I think it's justified.I've read that only two examples of this Royal Doulton/Doulton Lambeth Toby teapot by Harry Simeon are known to exist.This one - the third known example? - is slightly smaller than the known examples at approx 4.75" high (approx 12 cm). It doesn't bear Harry Simeon's monogram and the red details to his epaulettes, coat edges and cuffs are missing. Perhaps a prototype or second?Impressed marks to ba...se as shown. The number is 8634. Will date to c1927.The cover is damaged and has repairs and losses. Three pieces are currently detached.There is a small area of chipping to the spout but, otherwise, the pot itself has no further chips, no cracks, repairs or crazing. Inside is very clean and the teapot has clearly never been used.Please study the photographs, they form part of the description and condition report.
