Bachelor-size silver teapot

Bachelor-size silver teapot

Sold

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.
