Childhood of Zeus. The baby Zeus was cared for by the nymphs Adrasteia and Ida, daughters of Melisseus, King of Crete. He was fed with milk from the goat Amaltheia, a wondrous animal of terrible appearance. In gratitude Zeus placed her among the constellations and from her hide, which no arrow could pierce, he made the aegis. To the nymphs he gave one of her horns, conferring on it the property of refilling itself with whatever food or drink was required. This was the horn of plenty or cornucopia.

[Pad-marked Pattern 468]
It has been suggested that unmarked pieces from the Pad-marked series are earlier in date than the marked examples and later than those with the impressed "Ridgway" mark. I have always contended that the unmarked pieces can be of any date, and this teapot proves my point since it matches the Pad-marked Pattern 468 design but the shape is from the later John & William Ridgway period.
The teapot is 140mm tall, 157mm wide, and 178mm handle to spout. Bone china with lilac sprigs.
The stand does not appear to be robust enough for the purpose, though it matches well enough.
