This guide is for the Fitz & Floyd Collector's Edition Teapots. An article concerning teapots once stated that teapots produced in numbers greater than a 1000 units, usually maintained a value of  half of their initial retail value. Some "limited edition" teapots produced in numbers that exceed 5000 units have reach values that surpassed the initial retail price. I am pleased to offer a few popular examples of these produced by Fitz & Floyd.

The original retail price for these teapots started around $88.00.  I hope my price guide will give an estimate of the value of a pre-owned teapot in good to excellent condition or at least give you an idea of the possible high limits or low limits for bidding . I am continually working to update the guide as new data is revealed.



Places of Worship Collection

The Places of Worship Collection included the Notre Dame Catherdral, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

The Betsy Ross was introduced in 1993. It is 6" H,  has a 28 oz capacity and made in Taiwan. It is limited to 1777 units.

The Queen Victoria was  introduced in 1994 and stands  7 1/2" H with a 29 oz capacity. It is limited in production to 1750 units and was also made in Taiwan. Its value today is between $100.00 to $135.00. It also appears in auction occasionally.
