Re: "Bee on the Nose" Canister and Teapot Set

In this link you'll find information about Clarice Cliff and picture's of her work and her mark.

I found a teapot on ebay going for $25.00 and it wasn't in very good condition. It seems that your teapot was not made by Clarice Cliff but another company. Below is what was written on ebay about the teapot that matched your teapot.  

TILSO & CO

3 FOOTED, HAND PAINTED MAN WITH A BEE ON HIS NOSE TEAPOT

9" TALL FROM BOTTOM TO THE TOP OF THE HANDLE

7 3/4" FROM SPOUT TO EAR

MADE OF SOME SORT OF RED CLAY AND HAND PAINTED OVER THE GLAZE..

THIS WAS MADE SOMEWHERE IN THE 1930's to 1950's

VERY HARD TO GET MORE INFORMATION

I KNOW THAT TILSO WAS A PART OF T. BATLIN & SON'S.

BUT THERE IS NO TILSO LABEL

THERE IS A BIG "N" IN A CIRCLE AT THE BOTTOM

Good Luck!
