Ceramic teapot spout; body; hand-painted porcelain; pieces fit together

Teapot with a detached lid. Handle is modeled as a rope attached to the top corner of the body curling up and rounding down below the mid-section where two tassels drape away creating an inverted 'V' shape. The top is wrapped with a modeled rope tightly creating a bunched look which in turns creates the neck. The mouth flares out and is waved, continuing the bunched appearance. The general shape is spherical with the spout is attached just above the midsection. The lid handle is a knob with a modeled shape rope tied around tightly matching the bunched appearance. The teapot mouth and lid are trimmed in gold. The shield is in edged style. Orange background with a stag head and antlers. Between the antlers is a Botonee budded cross. Beneath the shield is a yellow ribbon written "Ancient Burgh of Canongate Edinburgh". Made by G.H. Goss, 1858-1887
