It was wonderful — the lid never fell off. Mine had a raised band around the middle that was a lighter colour. Still that was over 20 years ago…

So glad I found this blog as I have a question about my Betty. My Brown Betty is old (I bought it in a second-hand shop about 20 years ago), but there is no glaze on the inside of the pot. Is that the way it should be?
Thanks for any replies.

But it’s important to note that you are not going to find an authentic Brown Betty teapot in green. Part of the authenticity comes from the Rockinham glaze that the factory uses, which is always a dark chestnut brown.
