Press moulded, black basalt, six sided teapot commemorating Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). On each side is a shell in relief. On one side the shell bears a design of a monument with an obelisk on a base inscribed 'PRO PATRIA'. This is flanked by Britannia and Victory inscribing 'NELSON Octr...' on a shield. The other shell has a ribbon inscribed 'TRAFALGAR' placed across the staff of a British ensign, flying above a gun, shield, laurel branch and inverted foreign flags. The trophies are flanked by a pyramid and crocodile representing the Battle of the Nile and a fortress representing the Battle of Copenhagen. The base of the bowl and lid are decorated with leaves and the side panels of the body with convolvulus foliage. A convolvulus flower forms the finial of the lid. The rim is edged with diamond shapes.
