700? teapot

I would say that the body of the teapot is definitely a 787.
The lid, which doesn't appear to fit properly looks like a replacement .....?
The 787 lid sits low inside the rim ..... check the photo

according to the seller (who had it from new) it is the original lid

Check out this teapot listing ...

Same body as your one narna ... different lid.

the handles are quite different?

Good spotting Tony ..... yes the handle on the one on TM is more rounded.

Either way it is no longer mine as the handle on closer inspection had a hairline crack all way round it and i sent it back for refund
Im still dubious about lid but the trader was adamant it was the original. go figure

Another CL mystery (Scooby Doo theme plays )

but you still got the photo - which takes up way less space and collects less dust

Granted but Ive wanted that shape teapot since first seeing it in Vals book.

It just gives me something again to hunt for.

I will get one its just a question of when.

I need all the help I can get
thnx Mr K

well from here it looks like you're the last of the Great Whiteware Hunters - I'd mistakenly thought that the days of the $1 bargains were behind us [looks for emoticon of dancing narna in pith helmet]

Between you and Ev you've convinced me that op shopping as it was still goes on unaffected by TradeMe and the It's-all-mine collectors

The photo in Val Monk's book matches the Sapphire teapot that is listed atm ....
Who knows maybe this teapot has another shape number??
Good luck narna ... you will find another one
