Late Victorian silver teapot

An unusual and stylish antique silver teapot with round tapering body and decorated with finely detailed engine-turned engraving. The flat hinged lid is similarly detailed and has a removable disk-shaped finial.

This teapot is in wonderful original condition; the engine turning is perfect and all parts are hallmarked - the body, lid, handle, finial, and even the nut for the finial.

A silver teapot pours like no other. 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.


Note: Under the rules of the UK government's Ivory Act 2018, this silver teapot qualifies for an ivory exemption certificate.  If required, the ivory parts may be replicated and replaced with an ivory substitute at no additional cost.
