Dropped by the Wedgewood factory today. Happy to see my recent cup acquisition was more expensive than I paid for it a few weeks ago in a department store.
The factory outlet had lots of 2nd grade wares and 'last season' stock. One thing that caught my eye were the little teapots, they had them in a few colours. They were around 200ml and from a distance could have passed for yixing. I couldn't get much info,the woman thought they were kids pieces but wasn't sure. Just curious if anyone has come across these. They had hundreds, from around £25-£50. Lid fit was really pretty poor by yixing standards, but serviceable.
Decided not to buy one and now I kinda wish I'd taken the gamble.
Any info/thoughts?
Here's a few cameraphone pics:

Re: Wedgewood Pots?
Those look beautiful and very functional. Was there a strainer/screen on the inside of the spout?
