Ben's Pottery was based in Gold Coast, Queensland ... not sure if they are still throwing but I see a retail outlet by the same name exists currently.
BEN'S POTTERY - Teapot ONLY
Small Gold metallic sticker on one side of the teapot is the only identification used
There is no imprint, stamping or other ID on the underside of the base
Circa 1990's
Earthenware pottery
Design colours graduating from an almost Black, Aquamarine Blue on the lid through Greens, Greys and at the base the natural clay colour which is a white/sandstone when glazed.
Heavy Earthernware to maintain heat as much as possible
Straight spout for easy pouring
This is one of our 'we actually used this' items of pottery, not just placed on the shelf and looked at, use it!
We used this teapot a few times and know that it easily hold six 250mL cups of water/tea

300mm spout tip to handle

COSMETIC CONDITION:
Clean
NO damage to the teapot in all respects:

The Gold metallic stick-on label is difficult to read but when held to the light 'just right' you can clearly see the text

GENERAL NOTES: Heavy teapot to hold but a nice positive pouring action, no dribbles!
