Welcome to Gary Seymour
Established in 1998 Gary Seymour Designs goes from strength to strength. His flair for design is now beginning to make a mark upon the history of teapot collecting both in England and abroad. All of his designs are his own ideas, he models and produces each pot in his own studios and attention to detail is of paramount importance to him. What really separates him from the other novelty teapot makers we carry is that he produces his work in far smaller editions. His largest edition that we carry is only 500 pieces and we have several editions that are limited to just 100 pieces. What this translates into is a better purchase for the serious collector who is looking to the future value of their collection. We are delighted to represent him and look forward to a long relationship with his company.

2002 saw the 50th anniversary of the first performance of this world-famous Agatha Christie play. By kind permission of St Martins Theatre in London, we have been able to reproduce the official artwork on the billboard poster. The three blind mice form the handle, the detective is the spout and the mousetrap itself is the lid.

Lionheart - 2001.
King Richard I is kneeling at the altar before going off to the Crusades. This is an unusual design, as the sword is the handle with a 'V' shape in the balaclava at the back as the pouring hole, giving the pot a back to front feel. The three lions of England are emblazoned on the reverse.
