Teapot or Jug?

[BumbleB]

I'm sure that this is just a jug, but I'm told that it is a teapot!!    Date of gift is 1834.

I've asked for a view of the base of the jug!

Looks like a cream jug to me.

I vote for milk/cream jug as well. The markings on the base should help.

If you used it as a teapot I should think you would run the risk of being scalded every time you used it.

That's never a teapot - needs a lid and a spout.  Most definitely a milk or cream just, I would think.

It looks like a Willow Pattern Cream/Milk jug is my guess.
Does it a have a strainer in the spout or a lip where a lid would rest?
Who was the maker...Staffordshire?

Thanks everyone for confirming my views - that it is a jug of some description, and never a teapot - but when one is asked, one responds    I'm still waiting to see if there is any mark on the base, which may or may not prove interesting.  In the meantime, thanks again
