Need help identifying English Teapot

The mark to the left shows a K with the right half of it warn off. I tried to identify this myself and got as far as figuring that it was English, possibly from London. However, I have nothing to base my findings off of. Thank you for your time.

Hello Soler,
The pictures are showing fine now. The mark with the K, off in the dark area on the left, is the maker's mark. It will have at least two letters, we'll need them both to have any chance of identifying the maker. Try looking at it in good light with a magnifier and let us know if you can make it out more clearly.
Thanks, Tom

I might add to Tom's request by noting that, from the photo, the teapot appears to date to 1782. So it's already 223 years old :)
