Duchess China's historic works in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent — one of the great heartlands of English bone china production — is no longer in operation, and the \u003cem\u003eGlen\u003c\/em\u003e pattern (316) was discontinued in 2021. This teapot, produced in the final generation at that factory, is not simply a beautiful object. It is the end of a line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst introduced in the 1960s and produced across several decades, \u003cem\u003eGlen\u003c\/em\u003e is one of Duchess China's most enduring and quietly beloved designs — pale pink blossoms and soft greenery rendered on fine white bone china, finished with gold gilded accents along the rims, handle, and spout. The result is a teapot that feels both delicate and timeless, equally at home on a formal tea table or a cottage windowsill. A considered addition to a Duchess China collection, or a graceful replacement piece for anyone completing a \u003cem\u003eGlen\u003c\/em\u003e service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Duchess China, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Made in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eGlen\u003c\/em\u003e (316) — discontinued 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1990s (final generation production)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 litre (4–6 cups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15cm tall | 23cm handle to spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine bone china\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent condition — appears unused.
