Below are notes and a drawing for three special McCormick teapots from the 1980s. Each was drawn by art director Don Schreckengost.
The first drawing is for the "Ye Olde McCormick Tea House" decal which was used on McCormick teapots and mugs. The image below the drawing shows unused decals in both the teapot and mug size.
The next batch of pictures feature the evolution of the Ann Hathaway Cottage Teapot's body and lid style as well as the decals used. The dated drawings are from December 1983.
The last two drawings are from 1988 and show a special teapot with acorn embossing. As noted in the drawing, this teapot was intended to celebrate McCormick's 100th anniversary.
