This pretty small silver teapot was made in 1930 and is a faithful recreation of an early 18th century design. It has a hand raised body with flush hinge and fruitwood handle and finial. There is a band of finely detailed engraving around the lid and the long straight spout pours the tea perfectly, without dripping.
The small size is in keeping with the original Georgian period when tea was a very valuable commodity and teapots were always very small by modern standards. It would now be considered as suitable for two cups.
A silver teapot pours like no other and sterling silver is the perfect material for making 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.
