A charming Tony Wood Studio “Joan” character teapot, made in Staffordshire, England and modelled as a seated elderly lady in a red dress, white apron and yellow bonnet. This classic 1970s–1980s novelty teapot captures the warmth and humour of British pottery design, with Joan holding her umbrella and handbag while forming the functional body of the pot. The bonnet serves as the removable lid, and the moulded handle and spout follow the distinctive Tony Wood style.
