The attribution of the so-called 'Landskip' teapot has been extensively debated. See Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, Vol. I, fig. 153 for an example with identical handles and spout; also see fig. 150 for a closely related block mold now at the Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston.

Based on an invoice 11 January 1764 from William Greatbatch to Josiah Wedgwood which lists payment for a 'Landskip Tpt, Saus Bt., Cream Bt. & Sugr. Box' and on the rediscovery of related blocks at the Wedgwood factory in Etruria, the origin of the block design was tentatively ascribed to William Greatbatch. To date, there is no archeological evidence to support that Greatbatch made landscape-molded wares. Shards in this pattern have been found at several sites in Staffordshire, suggesting that Wedgwood was not the only potter making wares in this type.
