Hand Painted Teapot Cooler Hand Painted Teapot Cooler. Ceramic / Stoneware. Probably American. Probably early 20th century. Very unusual. A marvelous cooler shaped like a very large teapot! The decoration shows a fellow in a hat & overalls sitting on the bank of a small stream, fishing. Perhaps he’s sitting in the shade of the tree behind him. There’s another tree on the opposite bank. This charming scene is hand painted in soft shades of blue. Trim on lid border & finial and on spout is a darker blue. The ground color is a warm light gray. And the spigot works! But the rubber sealing ring needs to be replaced: it leaks. Although the cooler is quite heavy (more than 10 pounds), you can pour out the liquid through the spout just like a regular teapot. CONDITION: Good (all over crazing; some pitting from manufacturer; small chip on the spout tip; re-glued crack on spout near tip). Displays very well. Perfect for iced tea. Wonderful item. Really cool!
