Circa 1938-1948: This example is perhaps one of the finest blue glazes I have ever seen on the Riviera teapot. Rich and bold and very even without signs of damage or use, this is a collectors dream. Riviera pottery is a small line, consisting of less than twenty pieces. The teapot is one of the few lidded pieces and highlights the distinct stylistic elements of Riviera - square shapes, scalloped corners, tab handles and minimal, yet dramatic, highlighted edges. The teapot is one of the few lidded pieces in the line and is a cornerstone of the shapes in the mauve blue for the complete collection.
