James Sadler was founded in 1882 and is one of the leading manufacturers of teapots in the UK. James Sadler built a factory in Burslem at the heart of the ceramic industry in Stoke- on- Trent. He made his name for himself by making fine earthenware teapots an these became synonymous with quality and good taste.
The first teapots were made using a red clay with a dark brown glazed surface. This is known as the Rockingham Brown or more affectionately as "Brown Betty".

This mark was used from 1947 until Sadler were taken over by Churchill in 2000.
Sadly in April 2000 the name and business (but not the works) of Sadler was taken over by Churchill China.

Today Sadler teapots come in uniques shapes and designs. They feature wonderful scenes, landmarks, and people of the United Kingdom, making for a great compliment to a nice cup of English tea.
