More information
The name 'Cadogan' was given to this curious group of peach-shaped vessels, which had no lids and were filled from the underside, by the Earl of Cadogan who in the early 19th Century promoted their use as teapots, and persuaded the Rockingham factory in England to copy the form. See David S. Howard, The Choice of the Private Trader, London, 1994, no. 150 for a discussion on 'Cadogan' wine pots
