Cosy Pots
These curiously-shaped
tea or coffee pots were made by several companies in the 1920s,
including Booths and Pountneys.
Woods Cosy Pots can be
found in a large variety of patterns, many designed by Frederick
Rhead, although he did not design the shape itself.
They were manufactured in at least three
sizes - the smallest one shown right is in Woods' coloured CANTON
pattern. Please click here for
more CANTON items.
See also the Woods MAYFAIR
page for an example of the largest size Cosy Pot.
|
 |
Their unique feature is the patented lid,
designed by Edmund Abram in 1921. Advertising material of the
period described Cosy Pots thus:
"The only perfect dripless teapot
-
tea without leaves, coffee without grounds, lemonade without
pips,
a lid that cannot slip".
