Q: I have a teapot with the markings of Cannonsburg Pottery. I was wondering if it was anything of value. I was going to thrift store some items and include it, if not. Thanks for your time. Pictures of pot included. L.D., internet
A: I appreciate the good photographs including one of the mark. The Cannonsburg Pottery is located in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, and has been in business since 1900. They have used a series of marks over time. The stamped “Dishwasher Proof” on your teapot was not in use until 1955. So, it was made no earlier than 1955. There is no specific collector interest. However, it might be smart to contact Replacements Ltd. in Greensboro, North Carolina, as they buy Cannonsburg Pottery. Good luck.
