Thank you for the love aghcollector.
I have been trying to read the name and thought it might be Lingards? I wonder if it is related to Lingard of Colclough? The signature is not a usual stamp for anything Lingard....I may be reading it wrong!
Gorgeous set.
Your teapot is by Lingard Webster & Co. Tunstall...here is a similar one...:-)

NanaM - I think this is your teapot.
@racer4four - I couldn't reconcile the signatures either, I do not know why this one should be any different from all the many usual ones we've seen.
Maybe this is the reason for the different signatures:
"Originally promoting themselves as "The Teapot Specialists of England Since 1867", they were noted for producing everyday tea service products and associated teawares. The Company made many fine novelty teapots in the period 1935-1955.
After the 1950s the firm ceased production of its novelty teapot range and concentrated on teapot wares, making normal type teapots." excerpt from:
http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/655.htm
This is a good research site, in my everso humble opinion, and at the bottom it shows the older Lingard makers stamp examples.
I really like the Lingard styles, maybe a new collection is brewing, pardon the pun. I've never seen Lingard before, and would not have it it wasn't for NanaM. Thanks for posting your teapot, it's taught me alot.
Thank you for the love ,

Gillian, thank you for looking! I'm glad you like my teapot.
I display it with pride! I really like the Lingard style as well.
Very Nice piece, Great ID there!! I could not make out the name either.
A Canadian THUMBS UP from me !!
Hi, Doesn't the original post/teapot look much taller and skinner than the ones Inky and I found? Looking again, Inky's does seem much squatter than the one I found. No offence to Inky of course, but mine does show the correct mark. How difficult it is to fine the correct match. My eyes give out after a while, or I just plain give up.
What do you think antiquerose eh? And Pinky, have you got research down to a fine art? (Original post is 9 mths. old)
Cheers from Ontario.
