How old is this James Dixon & Sons Teapot?

Does anyone know how old this teapot is? its a James Dixon & Sons 8796 E 5. it has bows engraved around its middle a shell shaped thumb rest on the handle. the Knob on the lid seems to be tacked on rather then screwed. The handle is unadorned apart from what apears to be wooden sections no bigger then a washer.

It's not older than 1806, that's when James Dixon & Sons was founded. As to the time period, the description is, I'm afraid, meaningless. An appraiser would need to see the object and examine the maker's mark to tell a date range for the item. It's possible that a particular design carried over from one period to another or was even reproduced later.
