Silver bachelor teapot
London
1936
A beautifully made teapot in the George II bullet style with hand-raised circular body and straight cast spout. The lid has a discrete flush hinge - a sign of quality - and is surrounded by hand-engraved lattice and mask decoration that would have been popular in the 1730s when this style was originally made.
The bachelor teapot is a charming piece of antique silver, being simply a smaller version of full-size teapots, but intended for one person. Occasionally mistaken as part of a child's tea service, they are deliberately petite and were created long before the advent of the tea bag!
A silver teapot pours like no other
Sterling silver is the perfect material for fashioning teapots:
· No other material can be fashioned into such elegant and detailed forms, reflect light as beautifully, and a perfectly formed silver teapot spout will never drip.
· Second only to diamonds, silver has the highest thermal conductivity of any material, meaning that tea leaves can be brewed at a higher temperature than in any other teapot, allowing the tea leaves to fully release their flavours.
· That same high thermal conductivity means a silver teapot will retain heat and keep tea hot for much longer.
· Unlike porcelain and ceramic teapots, silver is sturdy and long-lasting, does not shatter and the occasional dent can be debruised.
