 With straining holes in the spout this teapot is suitable for both loose tea and tea bags. Although the inside rim has some wear to the gold gilding it can't be seen with the lid in place and it is most unusual for this area to be gilded.

Royal Stafford "Violets-Pompadour" vintage bone china tea set made by Thomas Poole and Gladstone China Ltd., Longton, Staffordshire, England. c.1950s 

 Because 22 Kt gold was used for the gilding there is a tiny bit of wear on the teacup handles where your thumb would rest.

A beautiful complete afternoon tea set or service in excellent condition.
