Three Leg Manx Teapot
Family inheritance from Zella
May (Cannell) McHUGH who received the pot from Eva
Jane (Cannell) DAVIS about 1965. Believed to have been manufactured
in the English North Midlands (Staffordshire) between 1885 and 1900, the
pot was most likely purchased at the Douglas, Isle of Man china shop on
Duke Street owned by William Broughton1
(his
name and shop address is inscribed on the bottom). Because the Cannell
family immigrated to Ohio in 1827, the pot probably was brought to Newburgh
as a souvenir at a later date by a friend or relation.

Notes:
1. Larch S. Garrad, 1970, Journal
of the Manx Museum is the source for all of the teapot historical information:
three leg pots were perhaps available as late as the start of the First
World War.
