According to the designer, H.Raoul Millais, the original set was designed for the Earl of Coventry, a keen huntsman, represented by the figure on the teapot. Millais subsequently became the godfather of the Earl's son. The fox knob was modelled by Doris Lindner whilst the horses were painted by James Hendry. The giant teapot and other matching items were produced by Royal Worcester from 1937. |
