A 19th century antique porcelain souvenir 1-cup teapot depicting the Irvine Bridge, Elora, Ontario, Canada. This 4-3/8" high teapot has embossed decoration and hand painted gold highlights as well as the black transfer picture, and probably dates c1870-90. The town of Elora and the surrounding area, including the Elora Gorge, are long-time tourist attractions. The bridge is a rare example of this type of bridge in Ontario, and this view on the teapot appears to be taken from a photo by either Thomas or John R. Connon, a father and son, both photographers who resided in Elora who took photographed Elora in the 19th century. This view was taken between 1860 and 1890 (reference: Archives of Ontario). The teapot is a nice early example of souvenir ware from that area. This item is in very good condition with no chips, crazing, losses, damage or repairs other than a touch of wear to the upper rim's gold trim and a tight hairline crack in the lid (visible from the front and back).
