The teapot you have was made by Gibson & Sons Ltd., a renowned English pottery company based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, which is part of the famous "Potteries" region of England.

• Foundation: The company was founded by Samuel Gibson in 1885 as Gibson & Sons, and it became a limited company in 1905, trading as Gibson & Sons Ltd.

• Specialty: They were particularly celebrated for their teapot production and became one of the most prolific manufacturers of teapots in England.

• Time Period: The "Made in England" mark on your teapot places its production sometime in the mid-20th century. Gibson & Sons remained in operation until around 1975, but their peak era for this style of domestic earthenware was from the 1930s to the 1960s.

• Legacy: Gibson's teapots are cherished for their sturdy construction, classic designs, and functional spouts that were known for a good pour. They represent a significant part of England's rich ceramic history and the tradition of tea as a daily ritual.
