China

Made by the Shelley pottery after a design by Mabel Lucy Atwell, about 1930

Accession number WAG 2006.12a&b

Teapot decorated as a toadstool house, with a pixie and rabbit at the front door

Mabel Lucy Atwell was a British children's illustrator, famous for her cute and nostalgic drawings. She had used the Boo-boo figure in 1920 as painted decoration on her nursery ware.

This teapot was purchased in 2006 for the Decorative Art department at National Museums Liverpool.
