Description
A striking vintage Lingard “Sairey Gamp” two‑face character teapot, inspired by the memorable Dickens figure from Martin Chuzzlewit. This expressive design features Sairey Gamp’s unmistakable bonnet, bold facial features, and a wonderfully sculpted dual‑profile form that gives the piece real presence. The hand‑decorated colours remain bright, with crisp moulding typical of Lingard’s mid‑century characterware.
The teapot shows light, honest age‑related wear but retains excellent display appeal. The underside carries the correct Lingard mark, confirming it as part of their Dickens series. A superb addition for collectors of literary ceramics, character teapots, or classic British pottery.

Sairey Gamp, with her expressive face and iconic bonnet, remains one of the most recognisable. These two‑face teapots are especially sought after for their sculptural quality and hand‑finished decoration, making them favourites among collectors of vintage novelty pottery.
