After an exhaustive search, this rare teapot form and the corresponding block mold appear to be unrecorded. Of Jacobite interest, the heraldic subject is likely the King and Crusader Richard the Lionheart. For a saltglazed stoneware teapot circa 1740 with the same sprigged decoration of a squirrel juggling three nuts, see the online galleries of The Victoria & Albert Museum, no. C.46&A-1949; and for a similar squirrel on a wine cup of circa 1745, see Leslie B. Grigsby, The Henry H. Weldon Collection, English Pottery, Stoneware and Earthenware, 1650-1800, London, 1990, p. 85, no. 19.
