This teapot has been in family 70+ years. It is marked T52 and Royal Rochester Studio. It is also stamped Fraunfelter China. It is in
good shape and has a tea leave strainer inside attached through the top by a chain. The bottom of that twists off for cleaning after use. I always liked this and just learned today it is "iridescent". It is hand painted. Any idea of the year it was made.? Any history on Fraunfelter or where I might find a history of the company?
Just Google Fraunfelter China... Zanesville, OH pottery. Ingenious teapot design, there!

Here's one like yours. Looks like yours is from the 1920's period

Thank you both. I didn't know anything about Fraunfelter and was surprised that the pottery was made in OH and probably in the 1920's. I never use the teapot, because I am always afraid it might break. It is definitely one of my favorites though. Thank you again!
