old majolica type pottery teapot w/ bamboo pattern, 1800s vintage Taft potteries New Hampshire

We love this beautiful old bamboo pattern pottery teapot - it's showing some age, with a chip to the lid, but no chips or cracks to the pot. It's about 5" tall overall.

The mark on the bottom is that of Taft Pottery of Keene New Hampshire, in operation from 1871 to 1923. A collector of this pottery was kind enough to contact us about this piece!
