Oops, I must have put in the wrong URL, here's the one for the unusual mini
teapot, not a pair of sexy shoes. SORRY! Any info would be helpful. On the
teapot, not the shoes :-)

Hi, Simona,
From the looks of the finish, I would guess this is a modern one.
Probably made in the Midlands at one of the potteries there--glaze is
the same as "Brown Betty" teapots popular in the UK.
Google Images has a few to look at. Many of the Victorian ones have
gold luster or sculptural tops.
Just guessing, I'd say since this one is not an old or elaborate,
that it isn't worth much, unless you want to replicate the design and
need it as an example.
Cheers,

I shared this with Simona privately: when the topic of cadogan teapots
came up previously, I shared the link below:

Originally, these were used by the Chinese for wine and not tea.
Here are some more:
